MANHATTAN
By Rogers & Hart
Ella Fitzgerald
Key: F

4      -4   5   6  -5
We'll have Man-hat-tan
-1    1*  -1   -3  2
the Bronx and Stat-en
3    3   3
Is-land too.
-2    -1  -2 4   4     4
It's love-ly go-ing through
6    5
the zoo!

5    -4  5  6  -5   
It's ver-y fan-cy
-1  1* -1 -3   2
on old De-lan-cey
3       3   3
street you know.
-2   2  -2     2   -1 -5
The sub-way charms us so
-4    3  -2  -2   2   4
when balm-y breez-es blow
2  -1  -3*
to and fro.

4    -4  5    6    -5
And tell me what street
-1    1*   -1   -3    2
Com-pares with Mott Street
3  3  3
in Ju-ly?
-2     -1   -2    4   4    4   6  4
Sweet push-carts gent-ly glid-ing by.

-3    3*  -3  -3* -3 -3* -3    3   -3*
The great big cit-y's a wond-‘rous toy
3    -3    3 -3  3   -2  -5
just made for a girl and boy.
4      -4   5   6  -5
We'll turn Man-hat-tan
-1 1* -1  -3  -3 -2
In-to 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!
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
