(choir)

(New York, New York, a helluva town.
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down.
The people ride in a hole in the groun'.
New York, New York
New York, New York
It's a helluva town!)

. . . . . .

I have the mem'ry of a lovely refrain
And in my heart it will forever remain
Our song was like a blue white gem
My darling, do you remember?

That night in Manhattan, was the start of it
We lived it and, we loved every part of it
The glow of moonlight in the park
The lights that spell your name
The autumn breeze that fanned the spark
That set our hearts aflame

Our kiss was, a sky-ride, to the highest stars
We (leed?) made it, without touching the handlebars
And I gave you my love
To the melody of the music, the madness
That made our Manhattan, serenade
(New York, New York)
(New York, New York)
