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
