Manhattan Lyrics
Choo'n Gum - The Tony Crombie 4-Tet/Annie Ross
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
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
My bathing suit so thin
Will make
The shellfish grin
Fin to fin
I'd like to take a sign unto make a baby whit you
And fell calss lakes weiwu you
The city's bustle cannot destroy
The dreams of a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy
Boy
