[Gm] [Cm] [Dm]
[Bb] Summer journeys to Niagara and to other [Bb] places

[Bb] I've a cozy little flat in what is known as old [Eb] Manhattan.
[F] We'll settle [Fm] [G] down [Eb]
right here [A] in [F] town.
[Bb] We'll have [Dbm] Manhattan, [C] the [A] Bronx, and [G] Staten.

[Dbm] It's lovely [C] [Cm] going [Am] through [A] the [Bb] zoo.
[Gm] [Cm]
[Dm] [G] [Gm] It's very [Db] [Eb] fancy on [A] old [G] Delancey Street, [Dm] you know.

[A] where true love [G] conquers in the [Dm] [Bb] wilds.
[Dbm] And [C] starve [Cm] together, dear,
[Db] [Gm] in [Eb]
[Dm] child's.
[Gm] We'll go [Dbm] to Coney [Cm] [Bb]
[A] and eat [G] bologna [Dm] on a [Gm] roll.
In Central Park we'll [Eb] stroll, [E]
where our [Eb] first kiss [Dm] we stole,
soul to soul.
[Gm] And my [G] fair [C] lady [A] is a [G] terrific show, [Dm] they say.
[Bb]
[Dbm] We both [C] may see it [Am] close.
[Bbm] [D] [B]
[A] Someday the [Eb] city's glamour can never [Ebm]
