John Kander
Theme from New York, New York
My little town blues
I'm 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
Come on, come through
New York, New York

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
And step around the heart of it
New York, New York

I want to 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'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

New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city
To find I'm king of the hill
Head of the list, dream of the, top of the, top of the heap

My old town blues
Oh, I'm 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
Come on, come through
New York, New York

My old town blues
I'm 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
Come on, yankers come through
New York, New York
