Summer journeys to niagra

And to other places aggra-

Vate all our cares.

Well save our fares!



Ive a cozy little flat in

What is known as old manhattan

Well settle down

Right here in town!



Well have manhattan

The bronx and staten

Island too.

Its lovely going through

The zoo!



Its very 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 citys a wonderous toy

Just made for a girl and boy.

Well turn manhattan

Into an isle of joy!



Well go to yonkers

Where true love conquers

In the whiles

And starve together dear, in chiles



Well go to coney

And eat baloney on a roll

In central park well stroll

Where our first kiss we stole

Soul to soul



And "my fair lady" is a terrific show they say

We both may see it close, some day



The citys glamour can never spoil

The dreams of a boy and goil

Well turn manhattan

Into an isle of joy!

Verse



Summer journeys to niagra

And to other places aggra-

Vate all our cares.

Well save our fares;



Ive a cozy little flat in

What is known as old manhattan,

Well settle down

Right here in town.



Chorus 1



Well have manhattan,

The bronx and staten

Island too.

Its lovely going through the zoo.



Its 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 citys a wondrous toy

Just made for a girl and boy --

Well turn manhattan

Into an isle of joy.



Chorus 2



Well go to greenwich,

Where modern men itch

To be free,

And bowling green youll see with me.



Well bathe at brighton,

The fish youll frighten

When youre in,

Your bathing suit so thin

Will make the shellfish grin,



Fin to fin.



Id like to take a

Sail on jamaica

Bay with you,

And fair canarsies lakes well view.



The citys bustle cannot destroy

The dreams of a girl and boy --

Well turn manhattan

Into an isle of joy.



Chorus 3



Well go to yonkers,

Where true love conquers

In the wilds

And starve together, dear, in childs.



Well go to coney

And eat bologny

On a roll,

In central park well stroll

Where our first kiss we stole,

Soul to soul.



And south pacific

Is a terrific

Show they say,

We both may see it close some day.



The citys clamour can never spoil

The dreams of a boy and goil --

Well turn manhattan

Into an isle of joy.



Chorus 4



Well have manhattan,

The bronx and staten

Island too,

Well try to cross fifth avenue.



As black as onyx

Well find the bronix

Park express,

Our flatbush flat, I guess,

Will be a great success,

More or less.



A short vacation

On inspiration

Point well spend,

And in the station house well end.



But civic virtue cannot destroy

The dreams of a girl and boy --

Well turn manhattan

Into an isle of joy!
