Start spreading the news

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 heat!..These littletown blues are melting away ..I'm gonna make a brand new start of it in old New York....

If I can make it there, I'm gonna make it anywhere..It's up to you New York, New York!
