Madmen movie - Manhattan lyrics

rate me

Song by Ella Fitzgerald<br /><br>

Summer journeys to Niag'ra<br>

and to other places aggra-<br>

vate all our cares.<br>

We'll save our fares!<br>

<br>

I've a cozy little flat in<br>

what is known as old Manhattan<br>

we'll settle down<br>

right here in town!<br>

<br>

We'll have Manhattan<br>

the Bronx and Staten<br>

Island too.<br>

It's lovely going through<br>

the zoo!<br>

<br>

It's very fancy<br>

on old Delancy<br>

street you know.<br>

The subway charms us so<br>

when balmy breezes blow<br>

to and fro.<br>

<br>

And tell me what street<br>

compares with Mott Street<br>

in July?<br>

Sweet pushcarts gently gli-ding by.<br>

<br>

The great big city's a wonderous toy<br>

just made for a girl and boy.<br>

We'll turn Manhattan<br>

into an isle of joy!<br>

<br>

We'll go to Yonkers<br>

Where true love conquers<br>

In the whiles<br>

And starve together dear, in Chiles<br>

<br>

We'll go to Coney<br>

And eat baloney on a roll<br>

In Central Park we'll stroll<br>

Where our first kiss we stole<br>

Soul to soul<br>

<br>

And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show they say<br>

We both may see it close, some day<br>

<br>

The city's glamour can never spoil<br>

The dreams of a boy and goil<br>

We'll turn Manhattan<br>

into an isle of joy!<br>

<br>
