New York, New York

Come on, Gabey, hurry up!

Twenty-four hours!

Hey, why don't ya look where you're goin'.
You'd think it was your first time in New York!

It is!

New York, New York!

It's a helluva town!
We've got one day here and not another minute
To see the famous sights!

We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it
Beneath the Broadway lights;

But we've hair on our chests
So what we like the best are the nights
Sights! Lights! Nights!
New York, New York, a helluva town.
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down.

The people ride in a hole in the groun'.
New York, New York, it's a helluva town!
Hey, Gabey! Gabey, look.
Gabey, it says here "There are 20, 000 streets in New York,
not counting MacDougal Alley the heart of Green-Witch Village,

a charming thoroughfare filled with..."
Here we go again!

The famous places to visit are so many,

Or so the guidebooks say.
I promised Daddy I wouldn't miss on any.
And we have just one day.

Got to see the whole town

From Yonkers on down to the Bay.
In just one day!
New York, New York, a visitor's place,
Where no one lives on account of the pace,
But seven millions are screaming for space.
New York, New York, it's a visitor's place!

Hey! Look who's comin' back! It's Tom and Andy!
Hey, Tom, Andy! Hey, fellas, how are the New York dames?

Wonderful - I don't remember a thing!
Awful! I remember everything!
Manhattan women are dressed in silk and satin,
Or so the fellas say;
There's just one thing that's important in Manhattan,
When you have just one day;
Gotta pick up a date...
Maybe seven...
Or eight
On your way.
In just one day!
New York, New York, a helluva town.
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down.
The people ride in a hole in the groun'.
New York, New York, it's a helluva town!!
