Rosemary Clooney Manhattan
We'll have Manhattan
The Bronx and Staten Island too.
It's lovely going through the zoo!
It's very fancy on old Delancy 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 gli-ding by.
The great big city's a wonderous toy just made for a girl and boy.
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy!
We'll have Manhattan
The Bronx and Staten Island too.
We'll try to cross 5th Avenue.
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
And "South Pacific" is a terrific show they say
We both may see it close, some day
The city's bustle can not destroy
The dreams of a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy!
