Hey Manhattan! |
| Guess what |
| Summer’s arrived |
| I feel the world’s on my side |
| The Brooklyn Bridge stretches below me |
| A billion souls all dying to know me |
| Well here I am |
| Loaded with promise |
| And knee deep in grace |
| What I want is here on my face and |
| I feel like I own the whole damn… |
| Hey Manhattan! |
| Here I am! |
| Call me star-struck Uncle Sam |
| Strolling Fifth Avenue |
| Just to think Sinatra’s been here too |
| These myths we can’t undo |
| They lie in wait for you |
| We live them till they’re true |
| Manhattan doobie doo |
| Hey Manhattan doobie doo |
| Someday’s you’ve got to get outside |
| Look there’s the Carlyle |
| That’s the place where Kennedy stayed and |
| Where were you when he died |
| There they were |
| Loaded with promise |
| And knee-deep in fate |
| When what you want shows on your face |
| All that’s left litters the whole damn… |
| Hey Manhattan here I am |
| Call it bad luck Uncle Sam |
| Scrounging Fifth Avenue |
| Just to think the poor could live here too |
| But what are they to do |
| These myths belong to you |
| We live them till they’re true |
| Manhattan doobie doo |
| Hey Manhattan doobie doo |
