There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York

Come with me that's where we belong sister

You and me Kin live that high life in New York

Come with me there we can't go wrong sister

I'll buy you the swellest mansion up on upper Fifth Avenue

An' thru Harlem we'll go struttin' we'll go a struttin'

An' there'll be nuttin' too good for you

I'll dress up in silks and satins in the latest Paris styles

And de 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

And de 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

That's where we belong
