MANHATTAN

Blossom Dearie

[Verse 1]

I'll take 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 us so
When balmy breezes blow to and fro

[Refrain]

And tell me, what street compares with
Mott Street in July?
Sweet pushcarts gently, gliding by

[Chorus]

The great, big city's a wondrous toy
Made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy

[Refrain]

Tell me, what street compares with
Mott Street in July?
Sweet pushcarts gently, gliding by>

[Chorus]

The great, big city's a wondrous toy
Made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy
