Summer journeys to Niagara
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 take Manhattan
the Bronx and Staten
Island too.
It's lovely going through
the zoo!
It is quite fancy
on old Delancy
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 gli-ding 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 Greenwich
Where modern men itch
To be free
And Bowling Green
you'll see with me
Ah 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
I'd like to take a sail
on Jamaica Bay with you
And fair Canarsie's Lake we'll view
The city's glamor can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil
We'll turn Manhattan
into an isle of joy!
