Manhattan - Stacey Kent

[00:01.380]Manhattan -Stacey Kent
[00:07.970]Summer journeys to Niagara
[00:10.620]And to other places
[00:12.880]Aggravate all our cares
[00:16.850]We ’ll save our fares
[00:20.550]I ’ve a cozy little flat
[00:22.620]In what is known as old Manhattan
[00:26.59]We ’ll settle down
[00:29.289]Right here in town
[00:35.299]We ’ll have Manhattan
[00:37.569]The Bronx and Staten Island too
[00:43.248]It ’s lovely going through
[00:48.68]The zoo
[00:54.428]It ’s very fancy
[00:56.698]On old Delancey Street you know
[01:01.788]The subway charms us so
[01:06.257]As balmy breezes blow
[01:10.927]To and fro
[01:13.107]And tell me what street
[01:15.847]Compares with Mott Street in July
[01:20.267]Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by
[01:30.177]The great big city ’s a wondrous toy
[01:35.427]Just made for a girl and boy
[01:41.227]We ’ll turn Manhattan
[01:43.47]Into an isle of joy
[03:01.433]We ’ll go to Yonkers
[03:03.973]Where true love conquers
[03:06.83]In the wilds
[03:08.573]And starve together dear
[03:13.143]In child ’s
[03:19.383]We ’ll bathe at Brighton
[03:21.692]The fish you ’ll frighten when you ’re in
[03:26.892]Your bathing suit so thin
[03:30.672]Will make the shellfish grin
[03:35.02]Fin to fin
[03:37.302]A short vacation
[03:39.721]On inspiration point
[03:42.431]We ’ll spend
[03:45.311]And in the station house we ’ll end
[03:53.581]But civic virtue cannot destroy
[03:59.251]The dreams of a girl and boy
[04:04.581]We ’ll turn Manhattan
[04:06.351]Into an isle of joy
