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 And step around the heart of it, New York, New York I wanna wake up in the city, that doesn't sleep To 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, 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 want to wake up in that 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 And If I can make it there, I'm gonna make it anywhere It's up to you New York, New York New York
