there's a boat that's leavin' soon for new york
come with me
that's where we belong
sister
you an' me can live that high life in new york
come with me
there you can't go wrong
sister
i'll buy you the swellest mansion
up on upper fifth avenue
an' through harlem we'll go struttin'
we'll go a-struttin'
an' there'll be nuttin'
too good for you
i'll dress you in silks and satins
in the latest paris styles
and the blues you'll be forgettin'
you'll be forgettin'
there'll be no frettin'
just nothin' but smiles
come along with me
that's the place
don't be a fool
come along
come along!
there's a boat that's leavin' soon for new york
come with me
that's where we belong
sister
that's where we belong
there's a boat that's leavin' soon for new york
come with me
that's where we belong
bess
that's where we belong!
come on
