New York is My Destination
New York is my destination
New York is where I will be from
New York is made for grander things
Just like me
I will lunch at the Algonquin
Swing by the Plaza, waltz on in
The Three Arts Club, I'll live there
Indefinitely
New York is made for grander things
Just like me
Literati
Yes, they will love me
Paparazzi
Well, could it be?
Glitterati
Will they know of me?
New York's waiting for me
All of the tales of seduction
Glittering on the horizon
Mountains of fame. And fortune. And snow
Finally
New York is made for grander things
Just like me
Literati
Yes, they will love me
Paparazzi
Well, could it be?
Glitterati
Will they know of me?
New York's waiting for me
Practice at the Parnassus
Cram for Columbia classes
Ride the 5th Avenue busses
Weave some tale about us
I lost all my money for Juilliard
I hid in the phone booth at Масу's
I slept in a brothel, on the way to
Destiny
New York is made for grander things
Just like me
Literati
Yes, they will love me
Paparazzi
Well, could it be?
Glitterati
Will they know of me?
New York's waiting for me
New York is made for grander things
Just like me
New York is where I will be from
New York is made for grander things
Just like me
I will lunch at the Algonquin
Swing by the Plaza, waltz on in
The Three Arts Club, I'll live there
Indefinitely
New York is made for grander things
Just like me
Literati
Yes, they will love me
Paparazzi
Well, could it be?
Glitterati
Will they know of me?
New York's waiting for me
All of the tales of seduction
Glittering on the horizon
Mountains of fame. And fortune. And snow
Finally
New York is made for grander things
Just like me
Literati
Yes, they will love me
Paparazzi
Well, could it be?
Glitterati
Will they know of me?
New York's waiting for me

New York is made for grander things

Will they know of me?
New York's waiting for me
New York is made for grander things
Just like me
