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!
