Shirley Horn There's A Boat That's Leavin' Soon For New York
[Verse 1]
There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Come with me
That's where we belong, mister
You and me can live that high life in New York
Come with me
There you can't go wrong, mister
[Bridge]
I'll buy you the swellest mansion
Up on upper Fifth Avenue
And through Harlem we'll go struttin'
We'll go a-struttin'
And there'll be nuttin'
Too good for you
I'll dress in silks and satins
In the latest Paris styles
All the blues you'll be forgettin'
You'll be forgettin'
There'll be no frettin'
Just nothin' but smiles
[Verse 2]
There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Come with me
That's where we belong
Mister, that's where we belong
[Verse 3]
You and me can live that high life in New York
Come with me
There you can't go wrong, mister
[Bridge]
I'll dress in silks and satins
In the latest Paris styles
All the blues you'll be forgettin'
You'll be forgettin'
There'll be no frettin'
Just nothin' but smiles
[Verse 4]
There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Come with me
That's where we belong
Mister, that's where we belong
