Manhattan Lyrics
Manhattan - Lee Wiley/Bobby Hackett/Joe Bushkin and His Swining Strings
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 charmes us so
When balmy breezes blow to and from
And tell me what street
Compares with Mott Street in July
Sweet push carts gently gliding by
The great big city's a wonderous 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 wilds
And starve together dear in Childs'
We'll go to Coney
And eat bologny on a roll
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul
And South Pacific Is a terrific Show they say
We'll hope it closes someday
The city's bustle cannot destroy
The dreams of a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy
We'll take Manhattan
Into an isle of joy
