Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers & Hart Songbook

Summer journeys to niagra


And to other places aggra-


Vate all our cares.


Well save our fares!






Ive a cozy little flat in


What is known as old manhattan


Well settle down


Right here in town!






Well have manhattan


The bronx and staten


Island too.


Its lovely going through


The zoo!






Its 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 citys a wonderous toy


Just made for a girl and boy.


Well turn manhattan


Into an isle of joy!






Well go to yonkers


Where true love conquers


In the whiles


And starve together dear, in chiles






Well go to coney


And eat baloney on a roll


In central park well 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 citys glamour can never spoil


The dreams of a boy and goil


Well turn manhattan


Into an isle of joy!
