There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon for New York |
There’s a boat dat’s leavin' soon for New York |
Come wid me |
Dat’s where we belong, sister |
You an' me kin live dat high life in New York |
Come wid me |
Dere you can’t go wrong, sister |
I’ll buy you de swellest mansion |
Up on upper Fi’th Avenue |
An' through Harlem we’ll go struttin' |
We’ll go a-struttin' |
An' dere’ll be nuttin' |
Too good for you |
I’ll dress you in silks and satins |
In de latest Paris styles |
And de blues you’ll be forgettin' |
You’ll be forgettin' |
There’ll be no frettin' |
Jes nothin' but smiles |
Come along wid me |
Dat’s de place |
Don’t be a fool, come along, come along |
There’s a boat dat’s leavin' soon for New York |
Come wid me |
Dat’s where we belong, sister |
Dat’s where we belong! |
Come on, Bess! |
