Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I wanna be a part of it
New-York, New-York
This vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And step around the heart of it
New-York, New-York
I wanna wake up in a city
That doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
My little town blues
Are melting away
I make the 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 wanna wake up in a city
That doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill
Head of the list
...
Top of the heap
My little town blues
Are melting away
I make the brand new start of it
In old New-York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
Come on, come through
New-York, New-York
