Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New york, new york
These vagabond shoes
They are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New york, new york
I wanna to wake up in that city
That doesn't sleep
And find i'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
My little town blues
They are melting away
I 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, new york
I want to wake up
In that city that never sleeps
And find i'm king of the hill, top of the list
Head of the heap
King of the hill
These are little town blues
They have all melted away
I am about to make a brand new start of it
Right there in old new york
And you bet ... baby
If i can make it there
You know, i'm gonna make it just about anywhere
Come on, come through
New york, new york, new york
