Ooohh New York x2 "Oh, New York" "Oh, New York"
Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes growing up in a as a movie scenes A town famous for its scenes
Noise was always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say "If I can gain a foothold here, I can survive anywhere", this is what people who have experienced it say
Seeing my face in lights or my name on marquees found down on Broadway See my face in the spotlight, or my name on the rolling marquees of a Broadway theater
Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams Even if it is not as good as it seems, I already have a pocket of dreams in my heart
Baby, I'm from New York Dear, 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 youBrilliant street lights will make you inspired
