Oooh oooh, New York (2x)

Grew up in a town,

That is famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud
There are sirenes all around

And the streets are mean
If I could make it here
I could make it anywhere

That's what they say
Seeing my face in lights
Or my name in marquees found down Broadway


Even if it ain't all it seems
I got a pocketful of dreams

Baby, I'm from

Chorus

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


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
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger
For more than from an empty fridge


I'm going to make it by any means
I got a pocketful of dreams

Baby, I'm from

Chorus

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


Chorus
One hand in the air for the big city

Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compared
Put your lighters in the air

Everybody say yeah, yeah yeaah

Chorus

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
