I'll take Manhattan
the Bronx and Staten
Island too.
It's lovely going through
the zoo!

It's very fancy
on old Delancy 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.

The great big city's a wondrous toy
made for a girl and boy.
We'll turn Manhattan
into an isle of joy!
