/9

Guess what! Summer's arrived

I feel the world's on my side

The Brooklyn Bridge stretches below me

[/9]

A billion souls all dying to know me

/9

Well here I am! Loaded with promise

And knee deep in grace

What I want is here on my face and

I feel like I own the whole damn (place)

Hey Manhattan! Here I am!

Call me star-struck Uncle Sam.

Strolling Fifth Avenue

Just to think Sinatra's been here too

  [?]

These myths we can't undo they lie in wait for you

 We live them till they're ...

True, Manhattan, doobie doo.

Hey Manhattan doobie doo.

/9

Someday's you've got to get outside

Look there's "The Carlyle"

That's the place where Kennedy stayed,

[/9]

And where were you when he died ?

(Yeah some things are slow to fade.)

/9

There they were - Loaded with promise

Knee deep in fate

When what you want shows on your face

All that's left litters the whole damn (place)

Hey Manhattan! Here I am!

Call it bad luck Uncle Sam.

Scrounging Fifth Avenue

Just to think the poor could live here too

  [?]

But what are they to do? These myths belong to you,

 We live them till they're ...

True, Manhattan, doobie doo.

Hey Manhattan doobie doo.
