Manhattan

Summer journeys to Niag'ra

And to other places aggravate 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 Delancey 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 gliding 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

We'll go to Yonkers

Where true love conquers in the wilds

And starve together, dear, in Childs'

We'll go to Coney

And eat bologny on a roll

In Central Park we'll stroll

Where our first kiss we stole

Soul to soul

And My Fair Lady is a terrific show they say

We both may see it close some day

The city's clamour can never spoil

The dreams of a boy and girl

We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy!
