Take Me Back to New York Town
[Verse 1] Two friends from old New York town, Met in a foreign land, One sang the praises of gay Paree, And the strand, London grand; Softly the other replied, “I know a place too,” he sighed, “And though I roam, it is my home sweet home, Uncle Sammy’s pride” [Chorus] Take me back to New York town,...

| Summary: | [Verse 1] Two friends from old New York town, Met in a foreign land, One sang the praises of gay Paree, And the strand, London grand; Softly the other replied, “I know a place too,” he sighed, “And though I roam, it is my home sweet home, Uncle Sammy’s pride” [Chorus] Take me back to New York town, New York town, New York town, There’s where I long to be, When the friends so dear to me, Coney Island down the bay, And the lights of old Broadway, Herald square I don’t care anywhere New York town, take me there. [Verse 2] Sing of the beautiful Rhine, Say that it beats the band, Just take a trip up old Hudson bay, Ain’t it grand, Yankee land; Rave of the sights o’er the sea, England and old Germany, Give me Broadway, where it’s fay, night and day, That’s the place for me. [Chorus] |
