Låttexter: Curtis Stigers. New York Is Rockin'.

Well baby, let me come and take you out tonight
Where the music is a pumping and the lights are bright
When the whistle blows and the workday's done
We gonna get the party started and have some fun
I'll meet you after midnight, baby, don't be late
Down around the corner at the Empire State

The kids are getting down up in the Bronx tonight
Times Square is lit up like it's broad daylight
They're kickin' out the jams down in ol' Bay Ridge
The joint is really jumpin' on the Brooklyn Bridge
All the hippies boppin' down on Avenue A
Put your red dress on, baby, we're on our way

New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York
(New York is rockin' tonight)

Well Sinatra's singing 'bout those little town blues
Baryshnikov is putting on his blue suede shoes
Bird is boppin' down on Fifty-Second Street
The Ramones at CBGB's got 'em on their feet
Pavarotti's playing up at Carnegie Hall
Yeah, everybody's swingin' and havin' a ball

New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York
(New York is rockin' tonight)

They really got it shakin' in Jamaica, Queens
Wall Street is dressing up in old blue jeans
They're jumpin' at the Garden for the New York Knicks
The Islanders and Rangers go their hockey sticks
The Bombers in the Bronx and the Mets at Shea
Giants and Jets are up and ready to play

New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York
(New York is rockin' tonight)

The Staten Island Ferry's rockin' all night long
From Soho to Harlem hear 'em singing along
The boys are steppin' out down on Christopher Street
In Bed-Stuy they're rockin' to a new jack beat
Well give our regards to ol' Broadway
'Cause New York is rockin' and it's here to stay

New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York
(New York is rockin' tonight)

New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'

New York, New York is rockin'
New York, New York is rockin'
