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!
Nigga, I be spiked out, I can trip a referee, tell by my attitude that I am most definitely from New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made. O, there's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York. These streets will make you feel brand new; big lights will inspire you; let's hear it for New York, New York.
New York City (née Amsterdam, Angoulême), the biggest city in the United States, one of the great centers of American power and international esteem, power built on the backs of the dead and dying, a terror city never allowed a moment of rest or respite. Short, punchy, happy to get naked and violent.
