Ella Fitzgerald - Manhattan video free download

Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers and Hart Songbook (1956)

Summer journeys to Niag'ra

and to other places aggra-

vate 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.

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

just made for a girl and boy.

We'll turn Manhattan

into an isle of joy!

We'll go to Yonkers

Where true love conquers

In the whiles

And starve together dear, in Chiles

We'll go to Coney

And eat baloney on a roll

In Central Park we'll stroll

Where our first kiss we stole

Soul to soul

And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show they say

We both may see it close, some day

The city's glamour can never spoil

The dreams of a boy and goil

We'll turn Manhattan

into an isle of joy!
