Intro: Summer journeys to Niagara

And to other places aggravate all our cares.

We'll save our fares!

I've a cozy little flat in

What is known as old Manhattan

We'll settle down, right here in town!


We'll take Manhattan

The Bronx and Staten Island too.

It's lovely going through the zoo!


It's 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 city's a wonderous toy

Just made for a girl and boy.

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy!


Ritornello:

We'll go to Yonkers

Where true love conquers in the whiles

And starve together dear, in Chiles


We'll go to Coney

And eat baloney on a roll

In Central Park we'll 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 city's glamour can never spoil

The dreams of a boy and goil

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy!
