Lyrics - I'll Take New York A summer wind Is blowing in From across the sea I'll tip the newsboy  I'll get me a shine I'm gonna ride that dream  to the end of the line I will be goin' places  I'm gonna get me a ride Up to the Riverside I'm gonna take you, New York  I'll make it happen I'm on the caboose I'm drinking manhattans tear off the wrappin' I'll make a splash on the big time that's how I will arrive Have you have two tens for a five? Roll out the carpet  Strike up the band I'm gonna break out the best champagne when I land Beat the Parade drum  You gotta hit all the bars I want the moon and stars I'm gonna take you, New York  I'll make it all happen I'm on the caboose I'm drinking manhattans I know someday they'll gonna name a street after me Right next door to old Franklin D I'm gonna take you, New York  I love you New York A summer wind Is blowing in From across New York New York New York
