He was just a child Forty five years old Who travelled alone With his old grandmother He was just a child Forty five years old Travelling alone In his grandma's fold His beautiful beard So curly and black Was a glory of his many relations His beautiful beard So curly and black Was a glory of his whole family clack One day he left on a big boat Thinking he'd land on a Chinese coast But after eight days What surprise, everyone heard his cry Grandmama it's New York It's New York I can see so many buildings Grandmama it's New York I see all the boats in the port of New York All the seagulls wave hello In the sky I can see the pretty seagulls All the seagulls wave hello It's so wonderful that my heart fell a glow Grandmama calm her boy With a little chocolate toy But the child feeling so good Yelled as loud as he could Grandmama it's New York It's New York I can see so many buildings Grandmama it's New York I see all the boats in the port of New York I see all the boats in the port of New York As he was in the diplomatic corps He was always on the most charming cruises As he was in the diplomatic corps He visited the foreign countries galore He lived like this til he was ninety two Always chaperoned by his old grandmother He lived like this til he was ninety two Always under his grandmother's view The day of his death she was right there (Pas folle la vieille) Still giving him a chocolate éclair But he, quite far gone on his way Could only gently say Grandmama it's New York It's New York I can see so many buildings Grandmama it's New York I see all the boats in the port of New York All the seagulls wave hello In the sky I can see the pretty seagulls All the seagulls wave hello It's so wonderful that my heart's all aglow When he got to the pearly gate What did he see? The Empire State Angels reading the Daily News Others singing Manhattan Blues See my boy it's New York It's New York you can see so many buildings See my boy it's New York Look, there, the good Lord in the port of New York Look, there, the good Lord in the port of New York
