Manhattan Songtext
von Mickey Rooney

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 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 city's clamor can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and girl
We′ll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
