Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

NYC Medley

Some folks like to get away

Take a holiday from the neighborhood

Hop a flight to Miami beach

Or to Hollywood

But, I'm takin' a greyhound

On the Hudson river line

I'm in a New York state of mind

York state of mind

We've got one day here

And not another minute

To see the famous sites

We'll find the romance

And danger waiting in it

Beneath the Broadway lights

Gotta see the whole town

Right from Yonkers

On down to the bay

In just one day

New York, New York

A wonderful town

The Bronx is up

And the battery's down

The people ride

In a hole in the ground

New York, New York

It's a helluva town

Such a wonderful town

I'll take manhattan

The Bronx and Staten island too

It's lovely going through

The zoo

The great big city's a wondrous toy

Just made for a girl and boy

We'll turn manhattan

Into an isle of joy

I like New York in June

How about you?

I like a Gershwin tune

How about you?

How about you?

East side, west side

All around the town

We'll trip the light fantastic

On the sidewalks of...

New York

I'm a native New Yorker

Oh oh...

I'm a native New Yorker

I grew up in a town

That's famous as a place of movie scenes

Noise is always loud

There are sirens all around

And the streets are mean

I'm gonna make it by any means

I got a pocketfull 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 inspire you

Let's hear it for New York

New York

New York

New York

Start spreadin' the news

I'm leavin' today

I want to be a part of it

New York

New York

These vagabond shoes

Are longing to stray

Right through the very heart of it

New York

New York

I want to wake up

In a city that doesn't sleep

To find I'm king of the hill

Top of the heap...

These little town blues

Are melting away

I'll make a brand new start of it

In old New York

If I can make it there

I'll make it anywhere

It's up to you

New York

New York

New York

New York

I wanna wake up

In a city that never sleeps

And find I'm king of the hill

Head of the list

Cream of the crop

At the top of the heap

These

Little

Town blues

Are melting away

I'm gonna make a brand new start of it

In my New York

Cause if I can make it there

I'm one of you

New York

New York!
