Rosemary Clooney - Manhattan lyrics
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 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 wondrous toy
 Just made for a girl and boy
 We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
We'll go to the Greenwich
 Where modern man itch to be free
 And Bowling Green you'll see with me
We'll bathe at Brighton
 The fish you'll frighten when you're in
 Your bathing suit so thin
 Will make the shellfish grin, fin to finRosemary Clooney - Manhattan - http://motolyrics.com/rosemary-clooney/manhattan-lyrics.html
And South Pacific
 Is a terrific show they say
 We both may see it close some day
The city's clamor can never spoil
 The dreams of a boy and goil
 We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
We'll have Manhattan
 The Bronx and Staten Island too
 We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue
As black as onyx
 We'll find the Bronnix Park Express
 Our Flatbush flat, I guess
 Will be a great success, more or less
A short vacation
 On Inspiration Point we'll spend
 And in the station house we'll end
But Civic Virtue cannot destroy
 The dreams of a [Incomprehensible]
 We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
