Manhattan

Manhattan -Stacey Kent
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
As 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 Yonkers
Where true love conquers
In the wilds
And starve together dear
In child ’s
We ’ll bathe at Brighton
The fish you ’ll frighten when you ’re in
Your bathing suit so thin
Will make the shellfish grin
Fin to fin
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
