New York, New York From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia New York, New York" is a song from the 1944 musical and the 1949 MGM musical film On the Town. The music was written by Leonard Bernstein and the lyric by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. The first line of this song is, "New York, New York, it's a helluva town: the Bronx is up and the Battery's down." For the film version, the word "helluva" was changed to "wonderful" to appease the Production Code offices. Note that it is not the same song "New York, New York" popularized by Frank Sinatra in the late 1970s. That song was written by John Kander and Fred Ebb for the 1977 Martin Scorsese film musical of the same name.
