Well I'm going to New York
And I'm really sure
I'm dragging my feet
From under the door
I said I'm going to New York
I said I'm going to New York
I said I'm going to New York
Even if I have to walk

Well I lived down South
I been out East
I been out West
But I ain't going to rest
'Til I get to New York
'Til I get to New York
Well I'm going to New York
Even if I have to walk

Now I've been here
And I've been there
And I've been a just about everywhere
But I'm going to New York
Yes I'm going to New York
Yes Sir
Well I'm going to New York
Even if I have to walk
