Manhattan
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
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
