Nobody would tell how much I love this city.
Song "I'll Take Manhattan" by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart sung by Blossom Dearie.

I'll take 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

Made for a girl and boy

We'll turn Manhattan

into an isle of joy



Tell me what street

compares with Mott Street in July

Sweet pushcarts gently

gliding by



The great big city's a wondrous toy

Made for a girl and boy

We'll turn Manhattan

into an isle of joy



I'll take Manhattan

I'll take Manhattan.

Blossom Dearie (Piano and Vocals);Ray Brown (Bass); Jo Jones or Ed Thigpen (Drums)
Recorded in New York in 1956
