Lyrics
Manhattan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'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 pushcarts gently
Gliding by
Chorus:
The great big city's a wondrous toy
Made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy
(Repete 3 estrofe)
(Chorus)
I'll take Manhattan
I'll take Manhattan
