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 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'm gonna 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
