Follow, follow the leader n-n-n-n-now
New York, New York City n-n-n-n-now
Follow, follow the leader n-n-n-n-now
New York, New York City n-n-n-n-now
Oh, if you wanna dance, work up a little sweat now
Better, better, better, better, get yourself a little romance
And you know, better get up a little sweat
And get a little romance
And you better follow, follow the leader n-n-n-n-now
New York, New York City n-n-n-n-now
Follow, follow the leader n-n-n-n-now
New York, New York City n-n-n-n-now
Yeah, if you wanna dance, you better work up a sweat now, baby
Get a little romance
Yeah, yeah, you better, you better work up a sweat now
Get yourself a little romance
And, you know, you better, oh, boy, follow the leader, n-n-n-now
Oh, New York, New York City n-n-n-n-n-now
Get going
