[George Gershwin - There's a Boat Dat's Leavin’ Soon for New York lyrics]
Soon for New York come wid me
Dat's where we belong, sister
You an' me kin live dat high life in New York
Come wid me dere you can't go wrong, sister
I'll buy you de swellest mansion
Up on upper Fi'th Avenue
An' through Harlem we'll go struttin'
We'll go a-struttin' an' dere'll be nuttin'
Too good for you
I'll dress you in silks and satins
In de latest Paris styles
And de blues you'll be forgettin'
You'll be forgettin' there'll be no frettin'
Jes nothin' but smiles come along wid me
Dat's de place
Don't be a fool, come along, come along
There's a boat dat's leavin'
Soon for New York come wid me
Dat's where we belong, sister
Dat's where we belong! Come on, Bess!
