bright lights, big city

This city needs no introduction, so just sing with me now...

tat-tat-tararat.. tat-tat-tararat...

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 make a brand new start of it


New York, New York...


i want to wake up in the city that never sleeps


to 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!
