Manhattan

[Verse 1: Rod Stewart, Bette Midler & Both]

Summer journeys to Niagra

And to other places aggravate 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

[Verse 2: Rod Stewart, Bette Midler & Both]

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

[Chorus: Rod Stewart, Bette Midler & Both]

I'd like to take a (Yes) sail on Jamaica Bay with you

And fair Canarsie's Lake, we'll view

The city's bustle cannot destroy

Ooh-ooh, the dreams of a girl and boy

We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy (Woah, yeah)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Rod Stewart, Bette Midler & Both]

And tell me what street

Compares with Mott Street in July?

Sweet pushcarts gently gliding, gently gliding 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
