There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon for New York

There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York

Come with me, that's where we belong, sister

You and me can live that high life in New York

Come with me, there you can't go wrong, sister

I'll buy you the swellest mansion on upper Fifth Avenue

And through Harlem we'll go a struttin'

We'll go a struttin'

And there'll be nothing too good for you

I will dress you up in silks and satins

In the latest Paris styles

And the blues you'll be forgettin'

You'll be forgettin'

There'll be no frettin', just nothing but smiles

Come along with me

That's the place

Don't be a fool

Come along

Come along

There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York

Come with me, that's where we belong

That's where we belong
