Start spreadin' the news,
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it,
New york, new york...
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it,
New york, new york...
I wanna wake up in a city
That doesn't sleep
And find i'm king of the hill,
Top of the heap...
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it,
In old new york...
If i can make it there,
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you,
New york, new york...
New york, new york...
I want to wake up in a city
That never sleeps
And find i'm a-number-one,
Top of the list,
King of the hill,
A-number-one...
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'm gonna make
A brand new start of it
In old new york
A-a-a-nd if i can make it there,
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you,
New york, new york...
New york...
