theme from 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

right through the very heart of it

new york

new york

i wanna wake up in a city

that doesn't sleep

and find i'm king of the hill

top of the heap

these 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'll make it anywhere

it's up to you

new york

new york

new york

new york

i want to wake up in a city

that never sleeps

and find i'm a number one

top of the list

king of the hill

a number one

these little town blues

are melting away

i'm gonna make a brand new start of it

in old new york

and if i can make it there

i'm gonna make it anywhere

it's up to you

new york

new york
