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's up to you

New York New York
