Lyrics
(Spoken) St. Louis has been all right,
But it’s an old fashioned kind of place.

Let’s expand and grow,
Let’s up and go to a city with drive,
And class and style and grave.

What is so rare as a day in New York?
Who wouldn’t hanker to stay in New York?
On the wide avenues,
There’s anything and ev’rything
A connoisseur might choose.
People are friendly and fair in New York,
Helpful and kind ev’rywhere in New York,
Scintillating and smart,
Industrious, illustrious and generous of heart.
Busy and dizzy, the city’s pretty pattern is.
Breezy and easy, the spirit of Manhattan is.
People have vigor and pep in New York,
And there’s a spring in their step in New York.

They’ll welcome you to the fold,
With all the thrills you can hold.
Nothing is nicer than old New York!
We will visit the zoo,
It’s the best in the nation,
Ev’ry kind of creation,
For the public to view.
To the Waldorf for tea,
A Delmonico dinner,
We won’t get any thinner,
But contented we’ll be.

East Side, West Side,
Me and Katie O’Rourke,
Katie and Anna and Agnes and Tootie,
And Grandpa and Esther and Rose,
On the sidewalks of New York.

(Spoken) “Grandpa, wait ‘till you see the polo grounds,
It makes our ball park look like a sand lot.”


Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out to the crowd,
For it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out,
At the old ball game.

What a delight it will be in New York!
So much to do and to see in New York,
It’s flowery and it’s green,
The Bowery, The Battery and all that’s in between.
You’ll be aglow and alive in New York,
Walking down Riverside Drive in New York,
In January or June,
It’s beautiful, it’s bountiful, each morning, night and noon.
Stroll in the Easter Parade, and be the belle of it.
Go to a burleque show just for the hell of it.
What is so bright as the sun in New York?
What can compare with the fun in New York?
It’s big and brassy and bold,
With all the thrills you can hold.
Nothing is finer, no not Argentina,
Carolina or China or Cork.
Nothing is nicer than old New York!
