New York, New York

Start spreadin' the news

I'm leavin' today

I want to be a part of it

New York, New York

These vagabond shoes 

Are longing to stray

I'll step around the heart of it

New York, New York

I want to wake up in the city 

That doesn't sleep

To find I'm king of the hill

Top of the heap

My little-town blues 

Are meltin' away

I'll take the red-eye flight tonight

From old L.A.

If I can make it there

I'll make it anywhere

It's up to you New York, New York

Oh, take it

To find I'm king of the hill

Head of the list

Cream of the crop

Hot, very hot

My little-town blues

Oh, are meltin' away

I'll make a brand new start of it 

New York

If I can make it there

I'll make it anywhere

It's up to you New York, New York

Old New York town
