Blossom Dearie — I'll Take Manhattan lyrics

Lyrics

I’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
Made for a girl and boy.
We’ll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.
Tell me what street
Compare with Mott Street in July
Sweet pushcarts gently
gliding by.
The great big city’s a wondrous toy
Made for a girl and boy.
We’ll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.
I’ll take Manhattan
I’ll take Manhattan
