New York New York
Embracing Dreams in the Heart of the Big Apple
Lyrics
Start spreading the news
Expressing the beginning of a message or announcement
I'm leaving today
Indicating the speaker's departure today
I want to be a part of it
Desire to become involved in the city of New York
New York, New York
Referring to the destination, New York City
These vagabond shoes are longing to stray
Describing a strong longing for exploration
Right through the very heart of it
Expressing the intention to explore the central part of New York
New York, New York
Reiterating the desire to be in New York City
I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
Expressing a wish to wake up in a bustling city
And find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
Desire to achieve a prominent status in the city
These little town blues are melting away
Hopeful anticipation of overcoming challenges in a smaller town
I'll make a brand new start of it in old New York
Expressing a commitment to a new beginning in New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
Confidence that success in New York signifies success anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York
Empowering the city to play a role in determining success
New York, New York, New York
Repetition emphasizing New York's significance
I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps
Reiterating the desire to wake up in a vibrant, non-stop city
And find I'm a number one, top of the list
Aspiration to be at the pinnacle of success and recognition
These little town blues are melting away
Repeating the idea of leaving behind challenges in a small town
I'll make a brand new start of it in old New York
Commitment to a fresh start in the historical New York City
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
Reaffirming the belief that success in New York leads to success anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York, New York
Empowering the city with the responsibility of determining success
