Summer journeys to Niag'ra
and to other places
Aggravate 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 take 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
to and fro
I'd like to take a
sail on Jamaica Bay with you
And fair Canarsie's lake
we'll view
The city's bustle
cannot destroy
the dreams of a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
into an isle of joy
And tell me what street
compares with Mott Street
in July?
Sweet pushcarts
gently gliding by
The great big city's
a wondrous toy
Ooh, just made
for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
into an isle of joy
We'll turn Manhattan
into an isle of joy
