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 ain't nothing to do
I wanna take a bite,
but there ain't nothing to chew
Ain't got no time for Times Square,
there are too many lights
Looking for a party, but there's no one inside
New York,
New York's dead
New York,
New York's dead
Come alive,
come alive,
come alive New York is dead
I wanna be there, I wanna be there
It's a Saturday night,
and I'm losing my mind I wanna get it going,
wanna have a good time
Down and out on the street,
I'm singing the blues
Ass up all the money, get a bottle of booze
New York,
New York's 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
I wanna get down,
break it out,
make some sound,
make some noise
Get down,
gonna town,
make it out,
because them boys
Get down,
break it out,
make some sound,
make some noise
Get down,
put on town,
make it 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 band,
I played a lot,
but I never win,
I got a maid,
but not in the shade,
I live my life like a renegade
Step up,
read all about it,
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, New York is dead
