Start spredin' 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
  Right through the very heart of it, New York, New York

  I wanna 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'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, New York
