Ooooooh New York
Ooooooh New York
Grew up in a town
That is famous
As a place
Of movie scenes
Noises always loud
There are sirens
All around
And the streets
Are mean
If I can make it here
I can make it anywhere
That's what they say
Seeing my face in lights
Or my name in marquees
Found down on Broadway
Even if it ain't all it seems
I got a pocket full
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 will
Inspire you
Let's hear it for
New York, New York
New York
On the avenue
There ain't never
A curfew
Ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot
On the corner
Selling rock
Preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab
Takes me down from
Harlem to the
Brooklyn Bridge
Some will sleep
Tonight with a hunger
For more than an
Empty fridge
I'm gonna make it
By any means
I got a pocket full
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
Will inspire you
Hear it for
New York
New York
New York
One hand in the air
For the big city
Street lights
Big dreams
All looking pretty
No other place
In the world
Can compare
Put your lighters
In the air
Everybody say
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
In 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
Will inspire you
Let's hear it for
New York
