Manhattan Songtext
von Dick Todd

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 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 Coney
And eat baloney on a roll
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul
The city′s clamor can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and girl

We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy
