Manhattan

Manhattan - Mel Tormé

Written by：Richard Rodgers/Lorenz Hart

Summer journeys

To Niagara

And to other places

Aggravate all our cares

We'll save our fares

We've a cozy little flat

In what is known as old Manhattan

We'll settle down

Right here in town

We'll tave 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

Made for a girl and boy

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

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 boy and girl

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy
