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 want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
My little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it, New York, New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
