This song is closely associated with Frank Sinatra and his 1980 cover version, but it was originally written for Liza Minnelli and the 1977 musical film by the same name.
Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longin' to stray
And step around the heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
My little-town blues
Are meltin' away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old 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
I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill
Head of the list
Cream of the crop
At the top of the heap
My little-town blues
Are meltin' away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'd make it anywhere
Come on, come through
