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 wonderous toy

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 I'll frighten

When I'm in

My bathing suit so thin

Will make the shellfish grin

Fin to fin

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

The dreams of a girl and boy

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy
