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      New York
