Summer journeys to Niagra 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 take Manhattan the Bronx and Staten Island too It's lovely going through the zoo Sing to me Bette come on It's very fancy on old Delancy street you know I know The subway charms us so When balmy breezes blow To and fro I'd like to take a Sail on Jamaica Bay with you And fair Canarsie's Lakes we'll view The city's bustle can not destroy Oh the dreams of a girl and boy We'll turn Manhattan Into an isle of joy Ooh yeah And tell me what street compares with Mott Street in July Sweet pushcarts gently gli gently gli ding by The great big city's a wonderous toy Oh just made for a girl and boy We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
