Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind, New York state of mind
We've got one day here and not another minute
To see the famous sights
We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it
Beneath the Broadway lights
Gotta see the whole town
Right from Yonkers on down to the Bay
In just one day
New York, New York, a wonderful town
The Bronx is up and the Battery's down
The people ride in a hole in the ground
New York, New York, it's a hell of a town
Such a wonderful town
I'll take Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island too
It's lovely going through the zoo
The great big city's a wondrous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan into an island of joy
I like New York in June
How about you?
I like a Gershwin' tune
How about you?
How about you?
East Side, West Side, all around the town
We'll trip the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York
I'm a native New Yorker
Oh, I'm a native New Yorker (new Yorker)
I grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenes
The noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York, New York
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
I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues are melting away
I'm gonna 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
New York, New York
I wanna wake up in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill, head of the list
Cream of the crop at the top of the heap
These little town blues are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it in my New York
'Cause if I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
I'm one of you New York, New York
