These are the shortened lyrics as performed by Cat Power Start spreading the news I'm leaving today I want to be a part of it New York, New York These vegabond shoes Are longing to stray Right through the very heart of it New York, New York I wanna wake up in the city that doesn't sleep To find the cream of the crop on top of the heap This little town blues are melting away I'll make a brand new start of it Old new york If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere New york It's upto you New York
