    New York, New York And find I’m a number one
    Top of the list, king of the hill
    These vagabond shoes A number one
    Are longing to stray
    Right through the very heart of it These little town blues
    New York, New York Are melting away
    I’m gonna make a brand new start of it
    I wanna wake up In old New York
    In a city that doesn't sleep And if I can make it there
    And find I'm king of the hill I’m gonna make it anywhere
    Top of the heap It up to you - New York, New York
