Manhattan Lyrics by Onyx Collective

Manhattan Special

2020

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 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 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 shellfish grin
Fin to fin
I'd like to take a
Sail on Jamaica Bay with you
And fair Canarsie's Lakes 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
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 South Pacific
Is a terrific
Show they say
We both may see it close some day
The city's clamour 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 Bronix 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!
