Manhattan

We'll have Manhattan

The Bronx

And Staten Island too

It's lovely going through

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

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 Greenwich

Where modern men itch

To be free

And Bowling Green

You'll see

With me

We'll bathe at Brighton

The fish you'll frighten

When you're in

Your bathing suit so thin

Will make

The shellfish grin

Fin to fin

And South Pacific

Is a terrific

Show they say

We both may

See it close

Some day

The city's glamour

Can never spoil

The dreams

Of a boy and goil

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy

We'll have Manhattan

The Bronx

And Staten Island too

We'll try to cross

Fifth Avenue

As black as onyx

We'll find the bronix

Park express

Our flatbush flat

I guess will be

A great success

More or less

A short vacation

On inspiration

Point we'll spend

And in

The station house

We'll end

But civic virtue

Cannot destroy

The dreams

Of a girl and boy

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy
