Lyrics for Manhattan Madness by Irving Berlin:
| | | Artist: | Irving Berlin |
| | Album: | Face The Music (1932 | | Track: | Manhattan Madness | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 79 | | | | Lyrics: | Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan
Manhattan madness
You've got me at
last
I'm like a fly upon a steeple
Watching seven million people
Do a
rhythm
That draws me with 'em
Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan,
Manhattan
Manhattan madness
You're going too fast
I'm like a baby on a
rocker
Watching Father Knickerbocker
Being busy
I'm getting dizzy
When
shadows creep, in my bed I tumble
But never sleep for I hear the rumble
In the street, the
tramping of feet
That haunt me the whole night long
And through the day I'm watching the
drama
That people play in your panorama
And I hear in tones very clear
The sound of
your restless song
Subways below and trains above racing
Packed with
humanity
Taxis and trucks and trolley cars chasing
Busy as they can be
Steaming
machines and riveters grating
Motors instead of men
Buildings go up with wrecking crews
waiting
To tear them down again
Newsies that shout sensational
headlines
Peddlers with things to sell
Noisy cafes and whispering breadlines
Children
that scream and yell
Whistles and bells and siren horns blowing
Pistols that crack and
roar
Traffic that stops and goes without knowing
What's all the shooting
for
Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan
Manhattan madness
You've got me
at last
I'm like a fly upon a steeple
Watching seven million people
Do a
rhythm
That draws me with 'em
And it's mad | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
