lirik lagu rodgers and hart - manhattan
(verse)
summer journeys to niag’ra
and to other places aggra-
vate 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
(chorus)
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
where 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
(chorus 2)
we’ll go to greenwich
where modern men 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 sh-llfish grin
fin to fin
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
(chorus 3)
we’ll go to yonkers
where true love conquers
in the wild
and starve together, dear
in childs
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
our future babies
we’ll take to abie’s
irish rose
i hope they live to see it close
the city’s clamor can never spoil
the dreams of a boy and goil
we’ll turn manhattan into an isle of joy
(chorus 4)
we’ll have manhattan
the bronx and staten
island, too
we’ll try to cross fifth a-
venue
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 girl and boy
we’ll turn manhattan into an isle of joy
