MANHATTAN 1925 |
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,
WHEN BALMY BREEZES BLOW.
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 BOY.
WE’LL TURN MANHATTAN
INTO AN ISLE OF JOY.
