Start spreadin' the news,
I'm leavin' 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
A-a-a-nd if I can make it there, 
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you, 
New York, New York...

New York...
