Lyrics
The eyes of the world
New York Rocks
Turn to New York
New York Rocks
She grew from a stem
New York Rocks
She's our nations gem
New York Rocks
You'll never feel alone
New York Rocks
On the streets of New York
New York Rocks
Take a walk down Broadway
New York Rocks
In your uptown shoes
New York Rocks
(bridge)
I'll be making the rounds
In the Big Apple town
They call New York
The Bronx, Manhattan,
Brooklyn and Queens
Staten Island down by the bay
(chorus)
New York Rocks, hey, hey
New York Rocks, hey, hey
New York Rocks
New York Rocks
Time Square swings
New York Rocks
On New Years Eve
New York Rocks
I've read the reviews
New York Rocks
No city's equal to
New York Rocks
Time to have a fling
New York Rocks
Time to spread my wings
New York Rocks
It's a big estate
New York Rocks
I can hardly wait
New York Rocks
(bridge)
I'll be making the rounds
In the Big Apple town
They call New York
The Bronx, Manhattan
Brooklyn and Queens
Staten Island down by the bay
(chorus)
New York Rocks, hey,hey
New York Rocks, hey, hey
New York Rocks, hey, hey
New York Rocks
New York Rocks, hey, hey
New York Rocks, hey, hey,
New York Rocks
New York Rocks (end)
