Summer journeys 
To Niagara 
And 
To other places 
Aggravate 
All our cares 
We'll save 
Our fares 

I've a cozy 
Little flat in 
What is known 
As old Manhattan 
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 

It's very fancy 
On old Delancy 
Street you know 
The subway charms 
Us so 
When balmy breezes 
Blow 
To and fro 

I'd like to take 
A sail 
With you 
And fair 
Canarsie's Lakes 
We'll view 

The city's bustle 
Cannot destroy 
Oooh 
The dreams 
Of a girl and boy 
We'll turn 
Manhattan 
Into 
An isle of joy 

Ooh, yeah 

And tell me 
What street 
Compares 
With Mott Street 
In July? 
Sweet pushcarts 
Gently gli-ding by 

The great big city's 
A wonderous toy 
Ooh 
Just made 
For a girl and boy 
We'll turn Manhattan 
Into an isle of joy 
We'll turn Manhattan 
Into an isle of joy
