Manhattan

Written by：Lorenz Hart/Richard Rodgers

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 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
