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
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
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 can compared
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say 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
New York New York
Hear it for New York
