Manhattan lyrics

Summer journeys to Niagara

And to other places aggra-

Vate all our cares.

We'll save our fares!

I've a cozy little flat in

What is known as old Manhattan

We'll settle down

Right here in town!

We'll have Manhattan,

The Bronx and Staten Island too.

It's lovely going through

The zoo!

It's very fancy

On old Delancy Street you know.

The subway charms us so

When balmy breezes blow to and fro.

And tell me what street

Compares with Mott Street in July?

Sweet pushcarts gently gli-ding by.

The great big city's a wondrous toy

Just made for a girl and boy.

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy!

I'd like to take a

Sail on Jamaica Bay with you,

And fair Canarsie's Lake we'll view.

We'll bathe at Brighton,

The fish I'll frighten

When I'm in my bathing suit so thin

Will make the shellfish grin fin to fin

A short vacation

On Inspiration Point we'll spend,

And in our little flat we'll end.

The city's bustle cannot destroy

The dreams of a girl and her boy

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy!

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy!
