Dinah Washington - Manhattan

De: Richard Rodgers e Lorenz Hart

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

And tell me what street

Compares with Mott Street in July

Sweet push carts gently gliding by

The great big city's a wond'rous 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 wilds

And starve together, dear in Childs'

We'll go to Coney

And eat bologny on a roll

In Central Park, we'll stroll

Where our first kiss we stole

Soul to soul

And for some high fare

We’ll go to “My Fair Lady” say

We’ll hope it close some day

The city’s clamour can never spoil

The dreams of a boy and girl

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy

The city’s bustle cannot, no it cannot destroy

The dreams of a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into a isle of joy
