Lyrics
We'll take Manhattan
The Bronx and Staten Island too
It's lovely going through the zoo
Well, 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, mm
We'll go to Coney, and eat baloney on a roll
In Central Park, we'll stroll
Where our first a kiss we stole, soul to soul
And for some high fair, we'll go to "My Fair Lady," say
We'll hope it closes someday
The city's clamor can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and girl
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
The city's bustle cannot, no, it cannot destroy
The dreams of a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
