Oooh oooh, New York Oooh oooh, New York

Grew up in a town,

That is famous famous as a place of moviemovie scenes

Noise is always loud

There are sirens all around

And the streetsstreet s are mean If I could make it here

I could make it anywhereanywhere

That's what they say

Seeing my face face in lights Or my name in marquees found down on BroadwayBroadway

Even if it ain't all it seems

I´ve got a pocket full of dreams

Baby, I'm from

New York, concrete jungle jungle where dreams are made up

There's nothing you can't do

Now you're in New York

These streets will make you feel brand new

Big lightslights will inspire you

Hear it for New York, New York, New York
