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 I 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 ♪ I want to wake up in a city That never sleeps And find I'm number one Top of the list, king of the hill A number one These little town blues Are melting away I'll 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's up to you New York, New York New York
