Stacey Kent - Manhattan lyrics

Summer journeys to Niag'ra 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 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 As 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 Yonkers Where true love conquers In the wilds And starve together, dear In Childs' 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 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!
