[C]Summer journeys to Niag'ra
And to other [F]plac[G7]es [C]ag[G7]gra-
[C]Vate all our cares.
[G7]We'll save our [C]fares;
[C]I've a cozy little flat in
What is known as [F]old [G7]Man[C]hat[G7]tan,
[C]We'll settle [A7]down
[Dm]Right here [Fm]in town.

{c: Chorus}
[C]We'll have Manhat[Adim7]tan,
[Dm] The Bronx and [G7]Staten
[C]Island too.
It's [Adim7]lovely [G7]going [Dm7]through [Baug]the [C]Zoo. [Dm7][G7]
[C]It's very fan[Adim7]cy
[Dm] On old De[G7]lan[Bdim7]cey
[Am]Street you know.
The [E]sub[Cm]way [D7]charms us so,
When balmy [Dm7]breez[G7]es blow
To and fro.
[C] And tell me [A7]what street
[Dm] Compares with Mott Street
[C]In July?
Sweet [Adim7]pushcarts [G7]gently [Dm7]glid[G7]ing [Gm]by.
[A7] The great [Dm7]big city's a wondrous [Fm]toy
Just [C]made for a girl and [D7]boy --
[C] We'll turn Manhat[Adim7]tan
[D7] Into an [G7]isle of [C]joy. [Adim7][Dm7][G7]

{c: Chorus 2}
[C]We'll go to Green[Adim7]wich,
[Dm] Where modern [G7]men itch
[C]To be free,
And [Adim7]Bowling [G7]Green you'll [Dm7]see [Baug]with [C]me. [Dm7][G7]
[C]We'll bathe at Brigh[Adim7]ton,
[Dm] The fish you'll [G7]frigh[Bdim7]ten
[Am]When you're in,
Your [E]bath[Cm]ing [D7]suit so thin
Will make the [Dm7]shell[G7]fish grin,
Fin to fin.
[C] I'd like to [A7]take a
[Dm] Sail on Jamaica
[C]Bay with you,
And [Adim7]fair [G7]Canarsie's [Dm7]Lakes [G7]we'll [Gm]view.
[A7] The city's [Dm7]bustle cannot des[Fm]troy
The [C]dreams of a girl and [D7]boy --
[C] We'll turn Manhat[Adim7]tan
[D7] Into an [G7]isle of [C]joy. [Adim7][Dm7][G7]

{c: Chorus 3}
[C]We'll go to Yonk[Adim7]ers,
[Dm]Where true love [G7]conquers
[C]In the wilds
And [Adim7]starve [G7]together, [Dm7]dear, [Baug]in [C]Childs'. [Dm7][G7]
[C]We'll go to Con[Adim7]ey
[Dm] And eat bo[G7]log[Bdim7]ny
[Am]On a roll,
In [E]Central [Cm]Park [D7]we'll stroll
Where our first [Dm7]kiss [G7]we stole,
Soul to soul.
[C] And South Pa[A7]cific
[Dm] Is a terrific
[C]Show they say,
We [Adim7]both may [G7]see it [Dm7]close [G7]some [Gm]day.
[A7] The city's [Dm7]clamour can never [Fm]spoil
The [C]dreams of a boy and [D7]goil --
[C] We'll turn Manhat[Adim7]tan
[D7] Into an [G7]isle of [C]joy. [Adim7][Dm7][G7]

{c: Chorus 4}
[C]We'll have Manhat[Adim7]tan,
[Dm]The Bronx and [G7]Staten
[C]Island too,
We'll [Adim7]try to cross [G7]Fifth [Dm7]Av[Baug]en[C]ue.[Dm7][G7]
[C]As black as on[Adim7]yx
[Dm] We'll find the [G7]Bron[Bdim7]ix
[Am]Park Express,
Our [E]Flat[Cm]bush [D7]flat, I guess,
Will be a [Dm7]great [G7]success,
More or less.
[C] A short va[A7]cation
[Dm] On Inspiration
[C]Point we'll spend,
And [Adim7]in the [G7]station [Dm7]house [G7]we'll [Gm]end.
[A7] But Civic [Dm7]Virtue cannot des[Fm]troy
The [C]dreams of a girl and [D7]boy --
[C] We'll turn Manhat[Adim7]tan
[D7]Into an [G7]isle of [C]joy! [F] [C]
