You Discover you're in New York

(Phil Baker) And any coffee on you?

(Carmen Miranda) Such a very handsome fellow

So you come to welcome me?

(Phil Baker) In the place of Fiorello

I present you with the key

In Broadway, and Harlem

And Greenwich Village too

You'll see a lot of places

That will seem like home to you

(Carmen Miranda) Oh, yes?

You're in the kind of a place that seems

Like a little cabaret in Rio

Then you hear a Boogie-Woogie Trio

And you discover you're in New York

A senhorita with the flashing eyes

Looks to you as if she might be chummy

But she only wants to play gin-rummy

And you discover you're in New York

You hear a tropical drum

You drink a tropical rum

You're in a tropical spot

And yet, you really are not

In case you're missing the point

You're in a typical joint on gay Broadway

For just a minute or two, you feel

Like you're down around the old Equator

Then you're interrupted by the waiter

A South American named O'Rourke

And discover you're in New York

You're in the kind of an atmosphere

That would set a Latin heart-a-flutter

Then you try to get a piece of butter

And you discover you're in New York

You have a feeling you're in Brazil

And you hope the ladies understand you

Then you start to pay

The check they hand you

You discover you're in New York

You hear Hawaiian guitars

You smoke Havana cigars

You build a castle in Spain

And then you order chow-mein

(Alice Faye) And from a Swede or a Swiss

You get a tropical kiss on gay Broadway

(Carmen Miranda) You see a wonderful rumba dance

With the rhythm of the old West Indies

But you're right across the street from Lindy's

Or at the club they call the Stork

And discover you're in New York

(Carmen Miranda) You want to be with a big, strong man

And the jungle music is so creepy

But the gentleman with you is sleepy

And you discover you're in New York

And you discover you're in New York!

(Phil Baker) Now I can retire

Well, there's a good neighbor policy

Come on honey. Let's good-neighbor it. There we are
