i'm leaving today (ok, not exactly today but july/august)
i want to be a part of it, New York, New York (yes, the BIG apple)
these vagabond shoes (i need blue suede shoes)
are longing to stray
and make a brand new start of it (oh yeah, talk about NEW)
New York, New York
i want to wake up in the city that never sleeps (this should work out well since i rarely sleep anyway)
to find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap (just so long as it ain't a hill of garbage)
these little town blues
are melting away
i'll make a brand new start of it (brand SPANKIN' new)
in old New York
if I can make it there
i'll make it anywhere
it's up to you, New York, New York
