Manhattan

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
 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 wondrous toy
 Just 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 you'll frighten
 When you're in
 Your 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 lake
 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
 We'll go to Yonkers
 Where true love conquers
 In the wilds
 And starve together, dear
 In Childs'
 We'll go to Coney
 And eat baloney
 On a roll
 In Central Park we'll stroll
 Where our first kiss we stole
 Soul to soul
 Our future babies
 We'll take to "Abie's Irish Rose"
 I hope they'll live to see
 It close
 The city's clamor can never spoil
 The dreams of a boy and goil
 We'll turn Manhattan
 Into an isle of joy
 We'll have Manhattan
 The Bronx and Staten Island, too
 We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue
 As black as onyx
 We'll find the Bronnix Park Express
 Our Flatbush flat, I guess
 Will be a great success
 More or less
 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
