Oooh oooh, New York (2x)

Grew up in a town, 
 That is famous as a place of movie scenes 
 Noise is always loud 
 There are sirens all around 
 And the streets are mean 
 If I could make it here 
 I could make it anywhere 
 That's what they say 
 Seeing my face in lights 
 Or my name in marquees found down Broadway 

Even if it ain't all it seems 
 I got a pocketful of dreams 
 Baby, I'm from 
 [bad word] ] 
 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 

On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew 
 Ladies work so hard 
 Such a melting pot on the corner selling rock 
 Preachers pray to God 
 Hail a gypsy cab 
 Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge 
 Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger 
 For more than from an empty fridge 

I'm going to make it by any means 
 I got a pocketful of dreams 
 Baby, I'm from 
 [bad word] ] 
 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 

One hand in the air for the big city 
 Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty 
 No place in the world that [bad word] 
 Put your lighters in the air 
 Everybody say yeah, yeah yeaah 
 [bad word] ] 
 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
