There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Come with me
That's where you belong, sister
You and me can live the high life in New York
Come with me
There you can't go wrong, sister
I'll buy you the swellest mansion
Way up Fifth Avenue
And tomorrow we'll go struttin', we'll go a-struttin'
And there'll be nothin' too good for you
I'll dress you in silk and satin
In the latest Paris styles
And the blues you'll be forgettin', you'll be forgettin'
And there'll be nothin' for you but smiles
There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Come with me
That's where you belong, sister
That's where you belong
ย
There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Come with me
That's where you belong, sister
You and me can jump the high life in New York
Come with me
There you can't go wrong, sister
I'll buy you the swellest mansion
Way up Fifth Avenue
And tomorrow we'll go struttin', we'll go a-struttin'
And there'll be nothin' too good for you
I'll dress you in silk and satin
In the latest Paris styles
And the blues you'll be forgettin', you'll be forgettin'
And there'll be nothin' for you but smiles
There's a boat that's swingin' uptown in New York
Come with me
That's where you belong, sister
That's where you belong, oh
ย
I have designer friends
They'll make you designer clothes
To fit over that
Elegant frame
Ma petite cher
You've got somethin', darlin'
That people need to know about
People need to know
What you brought into the world
Now, I do claim a certain proprietary right, but
That's, uh, all negotiable, darlin'
'Cause it's about whatever makes you feel good
Wanna make you feel good
Wanna have you in my house
And take you home with me
There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Sister
