There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Come with me
That's where we belong, sister

You an' me can live the high life in New York.
Come with me
There you can't go wrong, sister

I'll buy you the swellest mansion
Up on upper Fifth Avenue
And through Harlem we'll go struttin'
We'll go astruttin'
An' dere'll be nuttin'
Too good for you

I'll dress you in silks and satins
In the latest Paris styles
And the blues you'll be forgettin',
You'll be forgettin',
There'll be no frettin'
Just nothin' but smiles.

Come along wid 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
Dat's where we belong.
