I'll take Manhattan,
the Bronx, and Staten Island too
It's lovely going through
the zooIt'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 byThe great big city's a wondrous toy
Made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
into an isle of joyTell me what street

We'll turn Manhattan
into an isle of joyI'll take Manhattan
