New York City |
| Once I said goodbye |
| To New York City |
| Sweet city |
| I said goodbye |
| But I got to get back to you |
| If I have to walk |
| Or crawl or fly |
| I can’t say goodbye to New York City |
| Sweet city |
| Something’s got to give |
| You know they tell you it’s a great place to visit |
| But my heart tells me it’s a better place to live |
| And if I come by plane I can see those buildings high |
| And if I come by boat I can really heave aside |
| And if I come by train I can watch those streets go by |
| And if I land in the airport come in the skyway |
| Catch a cab that’s going my way |
| Love the busy home yes this is my day |
| New York is my town |
| Yes, New York, New York is my town |
| And I’ll go uptown, downtown |
| In this big happy sad town |
| They love go uptown, downtown |
| In this big happy sad town |
| East side, west side |
| East side, west side |
| All around the town |
| I love the people, yes the people |
| And all they make that big town swing |
| In the autumn, in the winter |
| In the summer, in the spring |
| Yes, the people are everything |
| Yes, I’ll go uptown, downtown |
| I’ll go uptown, downtown |
| There’s the east side, and don’t forget the west side |
| New York is my city! |
| New York! |
