Start spreading the news, i'm leaving today
I wanna 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 a 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'd make it anywhere
It's up to you - new york, new york

New york, new york

I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
To find i'm king of the hill
Head of the list
Cream of the crop
At the 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'd make it anywhere
Come on, come through - like you to new york, new york

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'd make it anywhere
Come on, come through - new york, new york
