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!
