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 sirenes all around
and the streets are mean
if i could make it here
i could make it anywhere
thats what they say
seeing my face in lights
or my name in marquees
found down broadway

even if it aint all it seems
i got a pocketful of dreams
baby, im from
new york, concrete jungle
where dreams are made of
theres nothing you cant do
now youre 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
aint 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

im going to make it by any means
i got a pocketful of dreams
baby, im from
new york, concrete jungle
where dreams are made of
theres nothing you cant do
now youre 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 yeah

new york, concrete jungle
where dreams are made of
theres nothing you cant do
now youre in new york
these streets will make
you feel brand new
big lights will inspire you
hear it for new york
