Should we go skating in Central Park?
Or shop Fifth Avenue?
We could see Marilyn Horne at Carnegie Hall
Or dance the winter chill off at a holiday bar
Let's spend the holidays in New York City
I get a jumped up joy just walking down the street
The roasted chestnut smell is in the air
I know our favourite hideaway is decked in evergreen
Let's take a horse and carriage to the tallest tree we've seen
Take me to Manhattan in December
Do you see Santa in the parade?
The stores are all aglow
Let's you and me get all dressed up to the nines
And take in the Messiah at St John the Divine
Let's spend the holidays in New York City
I get a jumped up joy just walking down the street
The roasted chestnut smell is in the air
I know our favourite hideaway is decked in evergreen
Let's take a horse and carriage to the tallest tree we've seen
Take me to Manhattan in December
I'll take the piles of grey and snow
The tourists everywhere you go
The sidewalk's jammed on every block
The lines in Macy's round the clock
Don't bother me up there if I've your hand to hold [?]
I'd like some cocoa warming my hands
It's got that peppermint smell
I've got a plan to see those dancing Rockettes
And you made a promise I will not soon forget
Let's spend the holidays in New York City
I get a jumped up joy just walking down the street
The roasted chestnut smell is in the air
I know our favourite hideaway is decked in evergreen
Let's take a horse and carriage to the tallest tree we've ever seen
Take me to Manhattan in December
Take me to Manhattan in December
Take me to Manhattan in December
