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

If I can make it there
I'd make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
New York, New York

So good they named it twice
New York, New York
All the scandal and the vice
I love it!
New York, New York

Now isn't it a pity
What they say about New York City
New York, New York
So good they named it twice
New York, New York
All the scandal and the vice
I love it!
New York, New York
Now isn't it a pity
What they say about New York City

My little town blues
Are longing to stray
I wanna be a part of it
New York, New York
If I can make it there
I'd make it anywhere
It's up to you New York, New York
