Baby, baby with your hard luck story 
You need a place to show to win 
You'd still be waiting for me at the airport 
While my ship was coming in 
And N.Y. you're taking me dancing.... 

So "don't you beware, don't you beware" 
Keep on dancing 
"Don't you beware, don't you beware" 
Keep on dancing 
"Don't you beware, don't you beware" 
Keep on dancing 
"Don't you beware, don't you beware" 
Keep on dancing 

N.Y., N.Y., you keep me dancing, dancing 
N.Y., N.Y., you keep me dancing, dancing 

I'm so glad I saw your ad on every avenue 
I'm so glad I saw your ad "in every place we drove" 
It's a town so nice, they had to name it twice - N.Y., N.Y. 
It's so hot, so hot, like an old soft shoe 

"Don't you beware, don't you beware" 
Keep on dancing 
"Don't you beware, don't you beware" 
Keep on dancing 
"Don't you beware, don't you beware" 
Keep on dancing 
"Don't you beware, don't you beware" 
Keep on dancing 

N.Y., N.Y., you got me dancing, dancing 
N.Y., N.Y., you got me dancing, dancing 
N.Y., N.Y., you got me dancing, dancing 

Dancing the night away 
Oh what a joy at the Barefoot Boy 
"Night Trouble Lane's" the place to be 
At 12 West the sound's the best 
I guess you can come in your jeans 
But I still prefer..getting dressed up 
But I still prefer getting dressed up for Regine's 

"Don't you beware, don't you beware" 
Keep on dancing 
"Don't you beware, don't you beware" 
Keep on dancing 
"Don't you beware, don't you beware" 
Keep on dancing 
"Don't you beware, don't you beware" 
Keep on dancing 

N.Y., N.Y., you got me dancing, dancing
