<br>

Verse:<br>

<br>

Tempo, you know that good old tempo:<br>

<br>

Chorus 1:<br>

<br>

Just give me that Manhattan Downbeat<br>

That beats a tempo of its own;<br>

You've got to shout, "This is it!"<br>

The day you visit<br>

The jumpinest town has ever known.<br>

Keep your Paree and London town beat<br>

Up with your bockers stands alone;<br>

Drive up any avenue, swing down any street,<br>

No beat has Manhattan Downbeat beat!<br>

<br>

Patter:<br>

<br>

Manhattan has a beat that's all its own,<br>

Manhattan has a beat to call its own.<br>

So, Mister Leader, when you give the band the downbeat,<br>

A one, two, three;<br>

<br>

Chorus 2:<br>

<br>

And give 'em that Manhattan Downbeat<br>

That beats a tempo of its own;<br>

You've got to shout, "This is it!"<br>

The day you visit<br>

The jumpinest town has ever known.<br>

Keep your Paree and London town beat<br>

Up with your bockers stands alone;<br>

Drive up any avenue, swing down any street,<br>

No beat has Manhattan Downbeat<br>

No beat has Manhattan Downbeat<br>

No beat has Manhattan Downbeat beat!<br>
