Manhattan Songtext
von Dawn Upshaw

We′ll have 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 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
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 go to Yonkers
Where true love conquers in the wilds
And starve together, dear, in Childs'
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
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
We′ll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
