New York, New York

Start spreading the news

I'm leaving today

I wanna be a part of it

New York, New York

These moccasin 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

To find I'm queen of the hill

Top of the heap

My 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

I wanna wake up

In a city that never sleeps

To find I'm queen of the hill, head of the list

Queen of the crop at the top of the hill

My 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!
