Uuuu, New York Uuuu, New York Grew up in a town That is famous as a place of movie scenes, Noise is always loud There are sirenes all around, And the streets are mean If I can make it here, I could make it anywere, That's what they say Seeing my face in lights, Or my name in marquees found down Broadway Even if ain't all it seems I got a pocket full of dreams Baby I'm from New York! Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, There's nothing you can't do Now you're in New York! These streets will make you feel brand new, Big lights will inspire you, Hear it for New York! (New York, New York, New York) On the avenue, There ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard Such a merlting pot On the corner selling rock Preachers pray to God, Hail a gipsy cab, Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge Someone sleeps tonight With a hunger for more then an empty fridge... I'm going to make it by any means, I got a pocket full of dreams, Baby I'm from New York! Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, There's nothing you can't do Now you're in New York! These streets will make you feel brand new, Big lights will inspire you, Hear it for New York! (New York, New York, New York) One hand in the air for the big city, Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty No place in the world that can compare Put your lighters in the air, Everybody say Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! New York, Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, There's nothing you can't do Now you're in New York! These streets will make you feel brand new, Big lights will inspire you, Hear it for New York!
