In 1981, Mayor Ed Koch declared New York, New York the official song of New York City
Start spreading the news, I知 leaving today
I want to 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稚 sleep
And find I知 king of the hill - top of the heap
These little town blues, are melting away
I値l make a brand new start of it - in old New York
If I can make it there, I値l make it anywhere
It痴 up to you - New York, New York
New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find I知 "A" number one, top of the list, king of the hill
"A" number one
These little town blues, are melting away
I知 gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York
And if I can make it there, I知 gonna make it anywhere
It up to you - New York, New York

Most New Yorker's like it best when sung by "Ole Blue Eyes"
