Ooooh, New York!
Ooooh, New York!


Grew up in a town that is famous
as a place of movie scenes
Noise is 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 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 will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New Yooork!


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'ma 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 will inspire you

Hear it for New York, New York
New Yooork!


One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
No place in the world that 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

New York, New Yooork!
