New York is my destination

New York is where I will be from

New York is made for grander things

Just. Like. Me.

I will lunch at the Algonquin

Swing by the Plaza, waltz on in

The Three Arts Club, I'll live there

Indefinitely

New York is made for grander things

Just. Like. Me.

Literati,

Yes, they will love me

Paparazzi,

Well, could this be?

Glitterati,

Will they know of me?

New York's waiting for me

All of the tales of seduction

Glittering on the horizon

Mountains of fame. And fortune. And snow

Finally

New York is made for grander things

Just. Like. Me.

Literati,

Yes, they will love me.

Paparazzi,

Well, could this be?

Glitterati,

Will they know of me?

New York's waiting for me

Practice at the Parnassus

Cram for Columbia classes

Ride those 5th Avenue busses

Weave some tale about us

I lost all my money for Juilliard

I hid in the phone booth at Масу's

I slept in a brothel, on the way to my destiny

New York is made for grander things

Just. Like. Me.

Literati,

Yes, they will love me

Paparazzi,

Well, could this be?

Glitterati,

Will they know of me?

New York's waiting for me

New York is made for grander things

Just. Like. Me.
