Lyrics

Summer journeys to Niagara
And to other places aggravate all our cares
We'll save our fares
I've a cozy little pad
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
Where 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
Made for a girl and a boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy
Da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
It's lovely going through
Through the zoo
We'll go to Coney
And eat baloney on a roll
Through Central Park we'll stroll
Where that first kiss we stole
Soul to soul
We'll have some babies
They will see Abie's Irish Rose
Maybe they'll live
To see it close
The city's glamour
We'll never spoil
The dreams of a boy and girl
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of
We'll have Manhattan
The Bronx and Fire Island too
It's lovely going through
Through the zoo
Written by: Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers
