Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I wanna be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And step around the heart of it
New York, New York
I wanna 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 melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'd make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
