Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I'm gonna 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 the city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting away
Gotta 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
Ta, ta, ta da da
Ta, ta, ta da da
Ta, ta, ta da da
New York, New York
I wanna wake up
In the city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill
Top of the list
A number one
I'm the king of the hill
These little town blues
Are melting away
And I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York
And if I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
Ta, ta, ta da da
Ta, ta, ta da da
Ta, ta, ta da da
