Summer journeys to Niag'ra and to other places aggravate all our cares;

       Emi7      A7/9-
We'll save our fares.

I've a cozy little flat in what is known as old Manhattan;

C9            B9  B9     Emi7   A7/9-
We'll settle down right here in town.

We'll have Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island, too;

It's lovely going through the zoo. 

D         FdimiEmi7      A7/6    Bmi7
It's very fancy on old Delancy Street, you know;

The subway charms us so  when balmy breezes blow to and fro.

D  Ami7     B7         Emi7           A7/6      Dmaj7
And tell me what street compares with Mott Sreet in July?

Sweet pushcarts gently gli - ding by.

We'll turn Manhattan into an isle  of joy.

We'll go to Yonkers, where true love conquers in the wilds,
And starve together, Dear, in Childs'.
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 "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show, they say;
We both may see it close someday.

D            Fdimi   Emi7    A7/6 A7/9- D6 Fdimi  Emi7  A7/9-  D6
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy.
