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 wond'rous toy
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 I'll frighten when I'm in
My bathing suit so thin
We'll make the shellfish grin fin to fin
I'd like to take a sail on Jamaica Bay with you
And fair Kanawha'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, boy
