Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
[Verse 2]
I wanna wake up in a city
That doesn't sleep
To find I'm cream of the crop
And top of the heap
[Verse 3]
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
Oh, New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
[Verse 4]
New York
It's up to you
New
York
