What's this song about?

1
Summer journeys
2
To Niagara
3
And to other places
4
Aggravate all our cares
5
We'll save our fares
6
I've a cozy little flat
7
In what is known as old Manhattan
8
We'll settle down
9
Right here in town
10
We'll have Manhattan
11
The Bronx and Staten Island, too
12
It's lovely going through
13
The zoo
14
It's very fancy
15
On old Delancey Street, you know
16
The subway charms us so
17
When balmy breezes blow
18
To and fro
19
And tell me what street
20
Compares with Mott Street
21
In July
22
Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by
23
The great big city's a wondrous toy
24
Just made for a girl and boy
25
We'll turn Manhattan
26
Into an isle of joy
27
We'll go to Greenwich
28
Where modern men itch
29
To be free
30
And Bowling Green you'll see
31
With me
32
We'll bathe at Brighton
33
The fish you'll frighten
34
When you're in
35
Your bathing suit so thin
36
Will make the shellfish grin
37
Fin to fin
38
I'd like to take a
39
Sail on Jamaica Bay with you
40
And fair Canarsie's lake
41
We'll view
42
The city's bustle cannot destroy
43
The dreams of a girl and boy
44
We'll turn Manhattan
45
Into an isle of joy
46
We'll go to Yonkers
47
Where true love conquers
48
In the wilds
49
And starve together, dear
50
In Childs'
51
We'll go to Coney
52
And eat baloney
53
On a roll
54
In Central Park we'll stroll
55
Where our first kiss we stole
56
Soul to soul
57
Our future babies
58
We'll take to "Abie's Irish Rose"
59
I hope they'll live to see
60
It close
61
The city's clamor can never spoil
62
The dreams of a boy and goil
63
We'll turn Manhattan
64
Into an isle of joy
65
We'll have Manhattan
66
The Bronx and Staten Island, too
67
We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue
68
As black as onyx
69
We'll find the Bronnix Park Express
70
Our Flatbush flat, I guess
71
Will be a great success
72
More or less
73
A short vacation
74
On Inspiration Point
75
We'll spend
76
And in the station house we'll end
77
But civic virtue cannot destroy
78
The dreams of a girl and boy
79
We'll turn Manhattan
80
Into an isle of joy
