Start spreadin' the news, I'm leavin' today 
 I wanna be apart 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 wanna 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 
 Annnnnd...If I can make it there, I'll make it 
 Anywhere, it's up to you, New York, New York, New York!
