Electricity burnin' through the concrete
Big shot, slave to art, anything you wanna be
Half-dead record heads dancin' to the heartbeat
Grit, soul, rock 'n' roll, it's the only place to be
Yeah, New York, New York
Yeah, New York, New York
First street, urban love, feel it moving under me
People racin', they all got somewhere to be
(New York, New York)
Lights paint the night with possibility
She's the dream girl you'll never tame
Call her by her street name
Yeah, New York, New York
Yeah, New York, New York
All-night revelry melting in the city heat
The jungle never sleeps, that's the way it's gotta be
Yeah, New York, New York
Yeah, New York, New York
(Get it up)
Yeah, New York, New York
Yeah, New York, New York
