D-DU-UDU
Ooohh  New  York x2
Grew  up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes
Noise  is 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
Seeing  my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway
Even  if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful 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 will inspire  you
 Let's hear it for New York,  New York, New Yoooork!
On  the avenue, there ain't 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
Some  will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge
I'm  gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful 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 will inspire  you
 Let's hear it for New  York, New York, New Yoooork!
One  hand in the air for the big city,
Street  lights, big dreams all looking pretty
No  place in the world that can compare
Put  your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah,  yeah, yeah, yeah
 In 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 you
 Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!
 For this example we'll play it down so even the high parts rest comfortably within a male range.
Ooohh  New  York x2
Grew  up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes
Noise  is 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
Seeing  my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway
Even  if it ain’t all it seems, I got a pocketful 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 will inspire  you
 Let's hear it for New York,  New York, New Yoooork!
 -Second Verse
 -Second Chorus
 -Bridge Before Last Chorus
One  hand in the air for the big city,
Street  lights, big dreams all looking pretty
No  place in the world that can compare
Put  your lighters in the air, everybody say  yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
