New York, New York
Embracing Dreams in the City That Never Sleeps
Lyrics
Start spreading the news
Expressing the beginning of a message or announcement
I am leaving today
Indicating the speaker's imminent departure
I want to be a part of it
Desire to be involved or connected with
New York, New York
Specifically naming the desired location, New York
These vagabond shoes
Referring to adventurous or restless shoes
They are longing to stray
Describing the shoes' strong desire to wander
Right through the very heart of it
Expressing a desire to traverse the central area
New York, New York
Reiterating the focus on New York
I want to wake up in that city
Expressing a wish to wake up in a city that never sleeps
That doesn't sleep
Characterizing New York as a vibrant, always active city
And find I'm king of the hill
Expressing a desire to achieve success in the city
Top of the heap
Describing the aspiration to be at the pinnacle
My little town blues
Referring to feelings of melancholy associated with a small town
They are melting away
Expressing a positive change, overcoming the blues
I gonna make a brand new start of it
Expressing a commitment to start anew in the old city
In old New York
Highlighting the setting as New York
If I can make it there
Expressing a challenge to succeed in New York
I'll make it anywhere
Asserting that success in New York means success anywhere
It's up to you
Indicating that the outcome depends on someone
New York, New York
Repeating the focus on New York
New York, New York
Reiterating the emphasis on New York
I want to wake up in that city
Reiterating the wish to wake up in the ever-active city
That never sleeps
Characterizing New York as a city that never sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill
Expressing the desire to be at the top of the hierarchy
Top of the list
Stating the aspiration to be at the top of the list
Head of the heap
Reiterating the position at the pinnacle
King of the hill
Emphasizing the king of the hill status
These are little town blues
Referring again to the fading blues of a small town
They have all melted away
Highlighting the complete disappearance of those blues
I am about to make a brand new start of it
Expressing readiness for a fresh start in New York
Right there in old New York
Reiterating the desire for a new beginning in the old city
And you bet Incomprehensible baby
Unintelligible expression, possibly conveying excitement
If I can make it there
Expressing confidence in overcoming challenges in New York
You know, I'm gonna make it just about anywhere
Asserting the likelihood of success in various places
Come on, come through
Encouraging someone to join in or support
New York, New York, New York
Repeating and emphasizing the connection to New York
