Manhattan

Manhattan - Ella Fitzgerald

Summer journeys to Niag'ra

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 Delancy Street you know

The subway charms us so

When balmy breezes blow to and fro

And tell me what street

Compares with much street in two line

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 whiles

And starve together dear in Chiles

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

And 'My Fair Lady'

Is a terrific show they say

We both may see it close

Some day

The city's glamor can never spoil

The dreams of a boy and goil

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy
