Start spreading the news
I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New york, new york
These vegabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New york, new york
Bridge 1:
I wanna wake up in the city
That doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill
Top of the heap
This 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
Bridge 2:
New york, new york
I wanna wake up in the city
That never sleeps
And find I’m a number one,
Top of the list,
King of the hill, a number one...
This...little town.... blues
Are...melting away,
I gotta 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 yoooooooooork...
New yooork.
