|
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 the Greenwich |
|
Where modern man itch to be free |
|
And Bowling Green you'll see with me |
|
We'll bathe at Brighton |
|
The fish you'll frighten when you're in |
|
Your bathing suit so thin |
|
Will make the shellfish grin, fin to fin |
|
And South Pacific |
|
Is a terrific show they say |
|
We both may see it close some day |
|
The city's clamor can never spoil |
|
The dreams of a boy and goil |
|
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy |
|
We'll have Manhattan |
|
The Bronx and Staten Island too |
|
We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue |
|
As black as onyx |
|
We'll find the Bronnix Park Express |
|
Our Flatbush flat, I guess |
|
Will be a great success, more or less |
|
A short vacation |
|
On Inspiration Point we'll spend |
|
And in the station house we'll end |
|
But Civic Virtue cannot destroy |
|
The dreams of a [Incomprehensible] |
|
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy |
