New York, New York the city all about the rush rumble
New York, New York the city with all the gleam glimmer
New York, New York the city without hush or humble
New York, New York the city on the seam to simmer
The doorstep of the United States
New York, New York the city of lights and lobby
New York, New York the city for chaos and cameras
New York, New York the city that fights and folly
New York, New York the city seance and the tram rush
The city truly not on a hill but on a podium for all to see
New York, New York the city of dreams and the dammed
New York, New York the city of art and arc
New York, New York the city that seams crammed
New York, New York the city, the mart mark of the U.S
The melting pot with a thousand ingredients
New York, New York
