Lyrics

Oooh... Ooh, New York
I grew up in a town
That is famous as a place of movie scene
The 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
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 I can't do
Now I'm in New York, New York, New York

Well I'ma be in Brooklyn
Now I'm back in Tribeca
Right next to DeNiro
But I'll be hood forever
I'm the new Sinatra
And since I made it here
I can make it anywhere
Yeah, they love me everywhere

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, New York, New York

One hand in the air for the big city
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
"Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!"

I'm from from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Hear it for New York, New York, New York
