Manhattan (Duet With Jacqui Dankworth)
Todd Gordon
앨범 : Todd Gordon: Evergeen With The Royal Air Force Squadonaires & Special Guests
Summer journeys to Niagara
and to other places aggravate
all our cares we'll save
our fares
I've a cosy 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
Delancey Street you know
The subway charms are 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 just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan into
an isle of joy
We'll go to Greenwich where
modern men itch to be free
And Bowling Green you’ll see
with me
Then We’ll bathe in Brighton the
fish you’ll frighten when
you’re in
Your bathing suit so thin
will make the shellfish grin
fin to fin
And if Chicago meets no
embargo on Broadway
We both may see it close
someday
The city's clamor can never
spoil the dreams of a boy
and goirl
We'll turn Manhattan into an
isle of joy
We’ll turn Manhattan into an
isle of joy
I’ve a cosy little flat in what
is known as old Manhattan
we’ll settle down
