New York, New York
Embracing Dreams: Conquering the City That Never Sleeps
Lyrics
Start spreadin' the news
Expressing the desire to share some news or information
I'm leavin' today
Announcing the departure or leaving at the present moment
I want to be a part of it
Expressing the wish to become involved or connected with
New York, New York
Referring to the iconic city of New York
These vagabond shoes
Describing shoes associated with a wanderer or traveler
Are longing to stray
Conveying a strong desire for exploration or deviation
Right through the very heart of it
Expressing the intention to go through the central or vital part
New York, New York
Reiterating the reference to New York and the desire to be a part of it
I want to wake up
Expressing the desire to wake up or live in
In a city that doesn't sleep
Describing a city known for its active and vibrant lifestyle
And find I'm king of the hill
Expressing the aspiration to achieve a high status or position
Top of the heap
Indicating reaching the pinnacle or being the best
These little-town blues
Referring to the feeling of discontent associated with small towns
Are melting away
Expressing the idea that such feelings are disappearing
I'll make a brand new start of it
Expressing the intention to start fresh or anew
In old New York
Referring to the historical aspects of New York
If I can make it there
Setting a condition for achieving success in New York
I'll make it
Reaffirming the determination to succeed
Anywhere
Stating that success is possible anywhere
It's up to you
Leaving the outcome or decision to someone else
New York, New York
Repeating the association with New York and the desire to be there
New York, New York
Reiterating the reference to New York for emphasis
I want to wake up in a city
Expressing the desire to wake up in a city
That never sleeps
Describing the city as always active and awake
And find I'm A number one
Expressing the aspiration to be the best or top-ranked
Top of the list
Describing a superior or leading position
King of the hill
Reiterating the desire to be at the top
A number one
Emphasizing the idea of being the best or number one
These little town blues
Repeating the notion of small-town dissatisfaction fading away
Are melting away
Expressing the determination to start fresh
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
Repeating the intention to make a new beginning
In old New York
Referring again to the historical aspects of New York
And if I can make it there
Reiterating the condition for success in New York
I'm gonna make it anywhere
Reaffirming the belief that success is achievable anywhere
It's up to you
Leaving the decision or possibility to someone else
New York, New York
Concluding with a reaffirmation of the connection to New York
