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 I'll walk right through the very heart of it New York, New York I want to wake up in a city that does not sleep To 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 want to wake up in a city that does not sleeps Just to find that I'm king of the hill A number one, top of the list, king of the hill 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
