I cant help staring when you’re hardly wearing a thing
Your lascivious mouth is full of smiles
Your laughter echoes off the bathroom tiles
With your pretty hands folded sweetly in your lap
You make such a tantalising trap

But who deserves your perfect curves and wiles?
Well, i can tell you now that it won’t be me
Because my girlfriend’s waiting patiently
And i have noticed that you’re inclined to tease
So don’t make this any harder for me please

Oh please don’t look so confused
I guess you’re seldom refused
You must think i’m insane
Walking out knowing i won’t get this chance again?

You kissed me once and you got a response, and i know
After a kiss like that some men would leave their wife
But i don’t want to destroy my life
Just because you look at me that way
It doesn’t mean that i’m about to stay

But i can hardly believe
That i’m about to just leave
Because some weird chromosome
Somewhere deep inside is calling me home

Oh please don’t look so confused
I guess you’re seldom refused
You must think i’m insane
Walking out knowing i won’t get this chance again?

Of course i want to share your bed with you
But if i stay tonight i can never go home

But i can hardly believe
That i’m about to just leave
Because some weird chromosome
Somewhere deep inside is calling me home

Oh please don’t look so confused
I guess you’re seldom refused
You must think i’m insane
Walking out knowing i won’t get this chance again?

Oh i can hardly believe
That i’m about to just leave
Because some weird chromosome
Somewhere deep inside is calling me home

Oh please don’t look so confused
I guess you’re seldom refused
You must think i’m insane
Walking out knowing i won’t get this chance again?

Summer journeys to niag’ra
And to other places aggra-
Vate all our cares.
We’ll save our fares!

I’ve a cozy little flat in
What is known as old manhattan
We’ll settle down
Right here in town!

We’ll have manhattan
The bronx and staten
Island too.
It’s lovely going through
The zoo!

It’s 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 city’s a wonderous toy
Just made for a girl and boy.
We’ll turn manhattan
Into an isle of joy!

We’ll go to yonkers
Where true love conquers
In the whiles
And starve together dear, in chiles

We’ll go to coney
And eat baloney on a roll
In central park we’ll 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 city’s glamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil
We’ll turn manhattan
Into an isle of joy!

Verse

Summer journeys to niag’ra
And to other places aggra-
Vate all our cares.
We’ll save our fares;

I’ve a cozy little flat in
What is known as old manhattan,
We’ll settle down
Right here in town.

Chorus 1

We’ll have manhattan,
The bronx and staten
Island too.
It’s lovely going through the zoo.

It’s very fancy
On old delancey
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 gliding by.

The great big city’s a wondrous toy
Just made for a girl and boy —
We’ll turn manhattan
Into an isle of joy.

Chorus 2

We’ll go to greenwich,
Where modern men itch
To be free,
And bowling green you’ll see with me.

We’ll bathe at brighton,
The fish you’ll frighten
When you’re in,
Your bathing suit so thin
Will make the shellfish grin,

Fin to fin.

I’d like to take a
Sail on jamaica
Bay with you,
And fair canarsie’s lakes we’ll view.

The city’s bustle cannot destroy
The dreams of a girl and boy —
We’ll turn manhattan
Into an isle of joy.

Chorus 3

We’ll go to yonkers,
Where true love conquers
In the wilds
And starve together, dear, in childs’.

We’ll go to coney
And eat bologny
On a roll,
In central park we’ll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole,
Soul to soul.

And south pacific
Is a terrific
Show they say,
We both may see it close some day.

The city’s clamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil —
We’ll turn manhattan
Into an isle of joy.

Chorus 4

We’ll have manhattan,
The bronx and staten
Island too,
We’ll try to cross fifth avenue.

As black as onyx
We’ll find the bronix
Park express,
Our flatbush flat, i guess,
Will be a great success,
More or less.

A short vacation
On inspiration
Point we’ll spend,
And in the station house we’ll end.

But civic virtue cannot destroy
The dreams of a girl and boy —
We’ll turn manhattan
Into an isle of joy!

I can’t believe anything
Every year it’s the same
Chew me up
Spit me out again

Oh, I’ve seen it all
Winter, Summer, Fall
I love you with my eyes
What’s you’re name

I can’t believe how I’m living
Lost in Manhattan
I don’t know where to go
There’s no where left to go

I can’t believe how I’m living
Lost in Manhattan
