Ira Gershwin - There's A Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon for New York lyrics

Bess There's a boat that's leaving soon for New York Come with me That's where we belong, sister You and 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 And through Harlem we'll go strutting We'll go a-strutting And there'll be nothing Too good for you I'll dress you in silks and satins In the latest Paris styles All the blues you'll be forgetting You'll be forgetting There'll be no fretting Just nothing 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 leaving soon for New York Come with me That's where we belong Sister, that's where we belong [Instrumental Break] There's a boat that's leaving soon for New York Come with me That's where we belong Bess! That's where we belong! Come on, Bess!
