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 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 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 These little town blues, are melting away 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 up to you New York, New York New York New York
