I like it    I don't like it

(feat. Bette Midler)


Summer journeys to Niagra

and to other places aggravate 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!


(Sing to me, Bette, come on)


It's very fancy

on old Delancy street you know. (I know)

The subway charms us so

When balmy breezes blow

To and fro.


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

Oooh, the dreams of a girl and boy

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy.


Ooh, yeah


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

Ooh, just made for a girl and boy.

We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy!

We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy!
