Start spreading the news I'm leaving 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 a way 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 In a city that never sleeps And find I'm a number one Top of the list New York, New York I want to wake up King of the hill A number one These little town blues Are melting a way I'm gonna make A brand-new start of it In old New York And, if I can make it there I'm gonna make it anywhere It's up to you New York, New York
