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 want to 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 top of the list, a-number-one
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
If I can make it here, I'll make it real seems here
It's up to you, new york, new york
