The Talk of the Town

New York's the talk of the town.
New York, New York.
When you're passing through, 
you get a scenic veiw.
Of the Statue Of Liberty.
New York's celebrity host.
They're the talk of the town.
Manhattan's day, a queens souffle.
A trip through Long Island.
Hudson Bay along the way.
New York, New York.
If you say this twice.
It's twice as nice.
New York, New York..

New York's the talk of the town.
New York, New York.
They say it's great.
The Empire State, 
and the Statue Of Liberty.
Don't turn around.
We're onward bound.
On a trip through Long Island.
Hudson Bay along the way.
New York, New York.
If you say this twice.
It's twice as nice.
New York, New York.

New York's the talk of the town.
New York, New York.
Take a pleasure cruise.
Then read the news, 
and watch a football game.
Manhattan's day, a queens souffle.
A trip through Long Island.
Hudson Bay along the way.
New York, New York.

So, if you say this twice.
It's twice as nice.
New York, New York.
New York's the talk of the town.
New York, New York..
