| [00:18.99] | |
| [00:19.00] | The island it is silent now |
| [00:23.68] | But the ghosts still haunt the waves |
| [00:26.88] | And the torch lights up a famished man |
| [00:31.59] | Who fortune could not save |
| [00:34.74] | Did you work upon the railroad? |
| [00:38.91] | Did you rid the streets of crime? |
| [00:42.76] | Were your dollars from the "White House"? |
| [00:46.76] | Were they from the "Five and Dime"? |
| [00:50.41] | |
| [00:50.42] | Did the old songs taunt or cheer you? |
| [00:54.33] | And did they still make you cry? |
| [00:58.14] | Did you count the months and years? |
| [01:01.84] | Or did your teardrops quickly dry? |
| [01:05.64] | Ah, No, says he 'twas not to be |
| [01:10.05] | On a coffin ship I came here |
| [01:13.30] | And I never even got so far |
| [01:17.56] | That they could change my name |
| [01:20.85] | |
| [01:20.86] | Thousands are sailing |
| [01:25.21] | Across the Western Ocean |
| [01:28.97] | To a land of opportunity |
| [01:32.78] | That some of them will never see |
| [01:36.58] | Fortune prevailing |
| [01:40.40] | Across the Western Ocean |
| [01:44.23] | Their bellies full |
| [01:46.41] | And their spirits free |
| [01:48.21] | They'll break the chains of poverty |
| [01:51.76] | And they'll dance |
| [01:53.26] | |
| [01:53.27] | In Manhattan's desert twilight |
| [02:07.03] | In the death of afternoon |
| [02:10.51] | We stepped hand in hand on Broadway |
| [02:14.64] | Like the first man on the moon |
| [02:18.84] | And "The Blackbird" broke the silence |
| [02:22.69] | As you whistled it so sweet |
| [02:26.26] | And in Brendan Behan's footsteps |
| [02:30.46] | I danced up and down the street |
| [02:34.04] | |
| [02:34.05] | Then we said goodnight to Broadway |
| [02:37.85] | Giving it our best regards |
| [02:41.71] | Tipped our hats to Mister Cohan |
| [02:45.47] | Dear old Times Square's favourite bard |
| [02:49.08] | Then we raised a glass to J.F.K. |
| [02:53.68] | And a dozen more besides |
| [02:56.98] | When I got back to my empty room |
| [03:01.29] | I suppose I must have cried |
| [03:04.49] | |
| [03:04.50] | Thousands are sailing |
| [03:08.88] | Again across the ocean |
| [03:12.56] | Where the hand of opportunity |
| [03:16.46] | Draws tickets in a lottery |
| [03:20.07] | Postcards we're mailing |
| [03:24.08] | Of sky-blue skies and oceans |
| [03:27.88] | From rooms the daylight never sees |
| [03:31.80] | Where lights don't glow on Christmas trees |
| [03:36.36] | But we dance to the music |
