Caught up in the in-crowd now you're in-style Into the winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out City of sin is a pity on a whim Good girls gone bad the city's filled with them Mami, took a bus trip now she got her bust out Everybody ride her just like a bus route "Hail Mary" to the city you're a virgin And Jesus can't save you life starts when the church end Came here for school graduated to the high life Ball players, rap stars addicted to the limelight MDMA got you feelin' like a champion The city never sleeps better slip you a Ambien In New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothin' 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 One hand in the air for the big city Street lights, big dreams all lookin' pretty No place in the world that could compare Put your lighters in the air, everybody say "Yeah, yeah" "Yeah, yeah" In New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothin' 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
