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
Right through the very heart of it — new york, new york
I wanna wake up in a city, that doesn’t sleep
And 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 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 up to you — new york new york
