Lyrics

Ooh-ooh-ooh, New York
 ♪
 Ooh-ooh-ooh, 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
 Seein' 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 nothin' 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 ever a curfew, ladies work so hard
 Such a meltin' pot
 On the corner sellin' rock, preachers pray to God
 Hail a gypsy cab
 Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
 Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger far 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 nothin' 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
 Streetlights, big dreams, all lookin' 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 nothin' 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
