Manhattan

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

This town

We'll have Manhattan

The Bronx and Staten Island, too

It's lovely going to 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 to Mott Street in July?

The 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 joyHi everyone!

Welcome to my show

Here in the greatest city in the world!

Manhattan we will turn into an isle of joy

We'll have Manhattan

The Bronx and Staten Island, too

We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue

We'll go to Coney

And eat baloney on a roll

Through 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 bustle cannot destroy

The dreams of a girl and boy

I happen to like New York

I happen to like this town

We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy

The city's clamor can never spoil

The dreams of a boy and goil

We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy

My isle of joy
