Lyrics Manhattan (Stereo Version) - Ella Fitzgerald

Summer journeys to Niag'ra
And to other places aggravate all our cares
We'll save our fares

I've a cozy little flat 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 Delancy
Street you know
The subway charms us so
When 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 wonderous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy

We'll go to Yonkers
Where true love conquers in the whiles
And starve together dear, in Chiles

We'll go to Coney
And eat baloney on a roll
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul

And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show they say
We both may see it close, some day

The city's glamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and girl
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy
