Ella Fitzgerald - Manhattan

Summer journeys to Niag'ra
And to other places aggra
vate 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 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
Just 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
Your bathing suit so thin
Will make the shellfish grin

Fin to fin

I'd like to take a
Sail on Jamaica
Bay with you
And fair Canarsie's Lakes we'll view

The city's bustle cannot destroy
The dreams of 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 both may see it close some day

The city's clamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil
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

As black as onyx
We'll find the Bronix
Park Express
Our Flatbush flat, I guess
Will be a great success
More or less

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 girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy
Summer journeys to Niag'ra
And to other places aggra
vate 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
