New York, New York - Frank Sinatra

I just realized Frank Sinatra sang this song and made it popular, after I read this on Wikipedia.

Frank's version is a little bit different from original version in the movie New York, New York, which was by Liza Minnelli. For voice only, I like Frank's version. But for a video, I like Liza's version.

Songwriters: KANDER, JOHN/EBB, FRED

Start spreading the news

I am leaving today

I want to be a part of it

New York, New York



These vagabond shoes

They are longing to stray

Right through the very heart of it

New York, New York



I want to wake up in that city

That doesn't sleep

And find I'm king of the hill

Top of the heap



My little town blues

They are melting away

I gonna make a brand new start of it

In old New York



If I can make it there

I'll make it anywhere

It's up to you

New York, New York



New York, New York

I want to wake up in that city

That never sleeps

And find I'm king of the hill

Top of the list

Head of the heap

King of the hill



These are little town blues

They have all melted away

I am about to make a brand new start of it

Right there in old New York



And you bet [Incomprehensible] baby

If I can make it there

You know, I'm gonna make it just about anywhere

Come on, come through

New York, New York, New York

This is the original version in the movie: New York, New York, by Liza Minnelli. There are really some difference from Frank's version (such as this one).


Oh! Here is a "combined" version of both Frank and Liza! Hahaha!
