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 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 someday.
The city's clamour can never spoil the dreams of a boy and goil;

D            Fdim    Em7     A7/6 A7-9  D6  Fdim  Em7  A7-9  D6
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle  of  joy.
