The Garrick Gaieties - Manhattan слова песни
Summer journeysTo Niag`raAnd to other placesAggravate all our cares.We`ll save our fares.I`ve a cozy little flatIn what is known as old Manhattan.We`ll settle downRight here in town. We`ll have Manhattan,The Bronx and StatenIsland too.It`s lovely going throughThe zoo.It`s very fancyOn old DelanceyStreet, you know.The subway charms us soWhen balmy breezes blowTo and fro.And tell me what streetCompares with Mott StreetIn July?Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by.The great big city`s a wondrous toyJust made for a girl and boy.We`ll turn ManhattanInto an isle of joy. We`ll go to Greenwich,Where modern men itchTo be free;And Bowling Green you`ll seeWith me.We`ll bathe at BrightonThe fish you`ll frightenWhen you`re in.Your bathing suit so thinWill make the shellfish grinFin to fin.I`d like to take aSail on JamaicaBay with you.And fair Canarsie`s lakeWe`ll view.The city`s bustle cannot destroyThe dreams of a girl and boy.We`ll turn Manhattan Into an isle of joy. We`ll go to YonkersWhere true love conquersIn the wilds.And starve together, dear,In Childs`.We`ll go to ConeyAnd eat baloneyOn a roll.In Central Park we`ll stroll,Where our first kiss we stole,Soul to soul.Our future babies We`ll take to "Abie`sIrish Rose."I hope they`ll live to seeIt close.The city`s clamor can never spoilThe dreams of a boy and goil.We`ll turn ManhattanInto an isle of joy. We`ll have Manhattan,The Bronx and StatenIsland too.We`ll try to cross`Fifth Avenue.As black as onyxWe`ll find the BronnixPark Express.Our Flatbush flat, I guess,Will be a great success,More or less.A short vacationOn Inspiration PointWe`ll spend,And in the station house we`ll end,But Civic Virtue cannot destroyThe dreams of a girl and boy.We`ll turn ManhattanInto an isle of joy!
