[Bb] Summer journeys to Niagara and to other [Cm] [Bb] places
[F] Aggravate all [Bb] our cares
[Eb] We'll save our [Dm] fares

right here in [A] [F] town
[Gm] We'll have [Dbm] [Cm] Manhattan, the [A] Bronx and [G] Staten [Dm] Island too

[Db] the [Bb] [Gm] zoo
[Eb]
[Dm] It's [G] [Gm] very [Dbm] [C] fancy on [A] Old [G] Delancey Street you [Dm] know
[Gm] The subway charms us [Eb] [Em] so
When [Eb] balmy [Gm] breezes blow to and [Dm] fro

[Dm] childs
[Gm] We'll go [Dbm] to Coney [C]
[A] and eat [G] bologna [Dm] on a roll
[Gm]
In Central Park we'll [Eb] stroll
[Em]
Where our [Eb] first kiss [Dm] we stole soul to [Gm] soul
And my [Dbm] fair [C] lady [Am] is a [G] terrific show they [F] say
[Bb]
[Dbm] We both [C] may see [Gm] it [Cm] close
[Bbm] [D] someday
[B]
