ManhattanWe'll have ManhattanThe 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 baloney On a roll In Central Park we'll stroll Where our first kiss we stole Soul to soul [?] The city's clamor can never spoil The dreams of a boy and goil We'll turn Manhattan Into an isle of joy The city's bustle cannot, no it cannot destroy The dreams of a girl and boy We'll turn Manhattan Into an isle of joy |
