From the Broadway Musical
MANHATTEN
Lyric by Lorenz Hart
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
WE’LL HAVE MANHATTEN,
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
GLID-ING BY,
THE GREAT BIG CITY’S A WOND’ROUS TOY
JUST MADE FOR A GIRL AND BOY,
WE’LL TURN MANHATTEN
INTO AN ISLE OF JOY!
WE’LL GO TO GREENWICH
WHERE MODERN MEN ITCH TO BE FREE,
AND BOWLING GREEN YOU’LL SEE....
WITH ME,
WE’LL BATHE AT BRIGHTON,
THE FISH YOU’LL FRIGHTEN WHEN YOU’RE IN,
YOUR BATHING SUIT SO THIN,
WILL MAKE THE SHELLFISH GRIN,
FIN TO FIN,
I’D LIKE TO TAKE A
SAIL ON JAMAICA BAY WITH YOU,
AND FAIR CANARSIE’S LAKES....
WE’LL VIEW,
THE CITY’S BUSTLE CANNOT DESTROY
THE DREAMS OF A GIRL AND BOY,
WE’LL TURN MANHATTEN
INTO AN ISLE OF JOY!
“Garrick Gaities”
