New York, New York Songtext
von Mel Tormé

We′ve got one day here, and not another minute
To see the famous sights
We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it
Beneath the Broadway lights
But we′ve only one day, so what we'll like the best of our nights

New York, New York, a hell of a town
The Bronx is up, but the battery's down
The people ride in a hole in the ground
New York, New York, it′s a hell of a town
Such a wonderful town

The famous places to visit are so many, or so the guidebooks say
I promised daddy we wouldn′t miss on any, and we have just one day
Gotta see the whole town right from Yonkers and down to the bay


New York, New York, a visitor's place
Where no one lives on account of the pace
But seven millions are screaming for space
New York, New York, it′s a visitor's place
Such a wonderful place

Manhattan women are dressed in silk and satin
Or so the fellas say
There′s just one thing that's important in Manhattan
When you have just one day, gotta pick up a date
Maybe seven or eight on your way

New York, New York, a hell of a town
The Bronx is up, but the battery′s down
The people ride in a hole in the ground
New York, New York, it's a hell of a town

It is a whale of a town
It is a gas of a town
It is a wonderful town
I love New York, it is a beautiful town
