Manhattan Songtext
von Rod Stewart duet with Bette Midler

Summer journeys to Niagra 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
(Sing to me, baby, come on)
It′s very fancy on Old Delancy Street you know
(I know)
The subway charms us so
When balmy breezes blow To and fro
I′d like to take a sail on Jamaica bay with you
And fair Canarsie's lakes
We′ll view
The city's bustle cannot destroy
Oooh the dreams of a girl and boy
We′ll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
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
Ooh just made for a girl and boy.
We′ll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
