Lyrics

[00:00.268] Summer journeys to Niag'ra
[00:12.109] And to other places aggravate all our cares
[00:16.965] We'll save our fares
[00:20.468] I've a cozy little flat in
[00:23.100] What is known as old Manhattan
[00:25.564] We'll settle down
[00:28.380] Right here in town
[00:33.332] We'll have Manhattan
[00:36.420] The Bronx and Staten Island too
[00:40.988] It's lovely going through the Zoo
[00:49.232] It's very fancy
[00:53.284] On old Delancey Street you know
[00:57.827] The subway charms us so
[01:02.323] When balmy breezes blow
[01:05.987] To and fro
[01:07.683] And tell me what street
[01:10.324] Compares with Mott Street in July
[01:14.508] Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by
[01:22.867] The great big city's a wondrous toy
[01:28.107] Just made for a girl and boy
[01:32.918] We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
[01:40.003] We'll go to Yonkers
[01:43.339] Where true love conquers in the wilds
[01:47.747] And starve together, dear, in Childs'
[01:57.235] We'll go to Coney
[02:00.018] And eat bologny on a roll
[02:04.307] In Central Park we'll stroll
[02:08.570] Where our first kiss we stole
[02:11.907] Soul to soul
[02:14.547] And My Fair Lady is a terrific show they say
[02:20.859] We both may see it close some day
[02:29.106] The city's clamour can never spoil
[02:34.539] The dreams of a boy and girl
[02:39.116] We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy!
