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
