Berlin Irving Face The Music (1932) Manhattan Madness 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! |
