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 fro


And tell me what street
Compares with Mott Street in July

Sweet push carts gently gliding by

The great big city's a wond'rous 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 tell me what street
Compares with Mott Street in July

Sweet push carts gently gliding by

The great big city's a wond'rous toy

Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy!


The city's bustle cannot destroy
The dreams of a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy
