Start spreadin' the news I'm leavin' today I want to be a part of it New York, New York These vagabond shoes Are longin' to stray Right through the very heart of it New York, New York I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep To find I'm cream of the crop and top of the heap These little-town blues Are meltin' away I'll make a brand-new start of it Oh, in New York If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere New York It's up to you New York
