1
Summer journeys
2
To Niag'ra
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
12
Island too.
13
It's lovely going through
14
The zoo.
15
It's very fancy
16
On old Delancey
17
Street, you know.
18
The subway charms us so
19
When balmy breezes blow
20
To and fro.
21
And tell me what street
22
Compares with Mott Street
23
In July?
24
Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by.
25
The great big city's a wondrous toy
26
Just made for a girl and boy.
27
We'll turn Manhattan
28
Into an isle of joy.
29
We'll go to Greenwich,
30
Where modern men itch
31
To be free;
32
And Bowling Green you'll see
33
With me.
34
We'll bathe at Brighton
35
The fish you'll frighten
36
When you're in.
37
Your bathing suit so thin
38
Will make the shellfish grin
39
Fin to fin.
40
I'd like to take a
41
Sail on Jamaica
42
Bay with you.
43
And fair Canarsie's lake
44
We'll view.
45
The city's bustle cannot destroy
46
The dreams of a girl and boy.
47
We'll turn Manhattan
48
Into an isle of joy.
49
We'll go to Yonkers
50
Where true love conquers
51
In the wilds.
52
And starve together, dear,
53
In Childs'.
54
We'll go to Coney
55
And eat baloney
56
On a roll.
57
In Central Park we'll stroll,
58
Where our first kiss we stole,
59
Soul to soul.
60
Our future babies
61
We'll take to "Abie's
62
Irish Rose."
63
I hope they'll live to see
64
It close.
65
The city's clamor can never spoil
66
The dreams of a boy and goil.
67
We'll turn Manhattan
68
Into an isle of joy.
69
We'll have Manhattan,
70
The Bronx and Staten
71
Island too.
72
We'll try to cross'
73
Fifth Avenue.
74
As black as onyx
75
We'll find the Bronnix
76
Park Express.
77
Our Flatbush flat, I guess,
78
Will be a great success,
79
More or less.
80
A short vacation
81
On Inspiration Point
82
We'll spend,
83
And in the station house we'll end,
84
But Civic Virtue cannot destroy
85
The dreams of a girl and boy.
86
We'll turn Manhattan
87
Into an isle of joy!
