[VOCAL INTRO]
D               Bm7        D            Bm7
Summer journeys to Niag'ra and to other places aggra- 
Adim         F#dim    Em7            A7
vate all our cares,   we'll save our fares;
D           Bm7            D                Bm7
I've a cozy little flat in what is known as Old Manhattan,
Adim         F#dim  Em7           A7
We'll settle down   right here in town


[VERSE 1]
D               Fdim   Em7                 A7       Dmaj7
  We'll have Manhattan,    the Bronx and   Staten   Island too. 
D      Fdim     Em7              A7  A7+   D  Fdim  Em7  A7
  It's lovely   going  through       the       Zoo.
D                Fdim   Em7                A7       Bm7
  It's very      fancy     On old De   -   lancey   Street you know. 
     F# F     E7                       Em7       A7   A7+     A7 A7+
The  subway   charms us so, When balmy breezes   blow to and  fro. 
D              Fdim         Em7              A7          Dmaj7
   And tell me what street     compares with Mott Street in July?
D      Fdim      Em7         A7 A7+   F#m   B7      Fdim  B7
 Sweet pushcarts gently  gli -  ding  by.       The great big 
Em7               Gdim     F#m        Bm7      E9
city's a wondrous toy just made for a girl and boy
D             Fdim   Em7        A7      D Fdim Em7 A7 
We'll turn Manhattan    into an isle of joy. 


[VERSE 2]
D             Fdim      Em7             A7       Dmaj7
We'll go to   Greenwich,   where modern men itch to be free,
D    Fdim    Em7              A7  A7+   D  Fdim  Em7  A7
And  Bowling Green you'll see     with  me.
D              Fdim     Em7              A7       Bm7 
We'll bathe at Brighton, the fish you'll frighten when you're in,
     F# F     E7                         Em7       A7     A7+     A7  A7+
Your ba-thing suit so thin will make the shellfish grin,  fin to  fin.
D           Fdim    Em7            A7          Dmaj7 
I'd like to take a      sail on Ja-maica       Bay with you,
D    Fdim     Em7             A7  A7+   F#m   B7      Fdim  B7 
 And fair Can-arsie's Lakes       we'll view      The ci  - ty's
Em7              Gdim     F#m         Bm7      E9 
bustle cannot destroy the dreams of a girl and boy 
D               Fdim      Em7     A7      D Fdim Em7 A7
  We'll turn Manhattan    into an isle of joy. 


[VERSE 3]
D              Fdim    Em7                A7       Dmaj7 
 We'll go to   Yonkers,   where true love conquers in the wilds
D      Fdim     Em7              A7  A7+   D  Fdim  Em7  A7
  And  starve together,    dear,     in    Childs'. 
D            Fdim  Em7           A7       Bm7
 We'll go to Coney     and eat bologny    on a roll,
     F# F     E7                                Em7       A7     A7+     A7  A7+
In   Central  Park we'll stroll where our first kiss we   stole, soul to soul. 
D             Fdim    Em7          A7   Dmaj7 
  And South Pacific       is a terrific show they say,
D   Fdim     Em7          A7 A7+   F#m   B7      Fdim  B7 
 We both may see it close    some  day.      The ci  - ty's
Em7               Gdim      F#m         Bm7      E9
clamour can never spoil the dreams of a boy and  goil
D               Fdim   Em7     A7      Dmaj7
  We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy.
