Lee Wiley Manhattan Lyrics

We'll have Manhattan
The Bronx and Staten
Island too.
It's lovely strolling through
The zoo!

It's very fancy
On old Delancy
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 gli-ding by.

The great big city's a wonderous 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 whiles
And starve together dear, in Chiles

We'll go to Coney
And eat baloney 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 buzzard cannot destroy
The dream of a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy!
