I just wanna make a wave
I don’t need a tidal wave
Come on baby, Save New York

I just wanna break away
Need a place to hide away
Everybody loves New York

I just wanna make a wave
I don’t need a tidal wave

Come on baby, save New York
I just wanna break away
I need somewhere to hide away
Everybody loves New York
(Everybody loves New York)

I’m on 5th Avenue, there aint nothing to do
I want to take a bite but there aint nothing to chew
Aint got no time for Time’s Square there are too many lights
Looking for a party, but there is no one in sight

New York, New York is Dead
New York, New York is Dead
Come Alive, Come Alive, Come Alive
New York is Dead
(I wanna be there, I wanna be there, yeah!)

It’s a Saturday night
And I‘m losing my mind
I want get it going, wanna have a good time
Down and out on the street
I’m singing the blues
Hats off for the money, get a bottle of booze

New York, New York is Dead
New York, New York is Dead
Come Alive, Come Alive, Come Alive
New York is Dead
Come Alive, Come Alive, Come Alive
New York is Dead
(I wanna be there, I wanna be there, yeah!)

I wanna get down, break it out, make some sound, make some noise
Get down, go downtown
Making out with girls and boys
Get down, break it out, make some sound, make some noise
Get down, go downtown
Making out with girls and boys

New York, New York is Dead
Come Alive, Come Alive, Come Alive
New York is Dead
(I wanna be there, I wanna be there)

Oh in a New York minute
I play the Lotto but never win it
I’ve got it made but not in the shade
I live my life like a renagade
Step, read all about
Looking for a party gonna scream and shout it
London Paris Amsterdam
New York City, here I am

New York, New York is Dead
Come Alive, Come Alive, Come Alive
New York is Dead
(I wanna be there, I wanna be there)
New York, New York, New York is Dead
(I wanna be there, I wanna be there)
Come Alive, Come Alive, Come Alive
New York is Dead
New York, New York, New York is Dead

I just wanna make a wave
I don’t need a tidal wave
Come on baby, Save New York
I just wanna make a wave
I need a place to hide away
Everybody loves New York

New York, New York is Dead
Come Alive, Come Alive, Come Alive
New York, New York is Dead
Everybody loves New York!
