There's A Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon For New York

There's a boat that's leaving 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

Up on upper Fifth Avenue

And through Harlem we'll go a-struttin'

We'll go a-struttin'

And there'll be nothin' too good for you

I'll dress you in silk and satins

In the latest Paris styles

All the blues you'll be forgettin'

You'll be forgettin'

There'll be no frettin', just nothin' but smiles

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

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

That's where we belong

You and me can live the high life in New York

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

I'll dress you in silk and satins

In the latest Paris styles

And the blues you'll be forgettin'

You'll be forgettin'

There'll be no frettin', just nothin' but smiles

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

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

That's where we belong
