Let's Take A Walk Around The Block

E.Y. HARBURG, HAROLD ARLEN

I've never traveled further north than old Van Courtland Park And never further south than the aquarium
I've seen the charm of Jersey City, but first let me remark I saw it from the Empire State solarium
But I've been putting nickels in the postal savings bank
And when those nickels pile up, we can toddle off in swank And I don't mean an ordinary cook's tour
I mean a cabin deluxe tour

Someday we'll go places
New lands and new faces
The day we quit punching the clock
The future looks pleasant
But at present
Let's take a walk around the block

You're just the companion
I want at Grand Canyon
We're throwing old blades down the rock
The money we havell go for a travel
Meantime let's walk around the block

Gangway we'll begin
When our ship comes in
I'll sit on your lap
All over the map
To London in May time
To Venice in play time
To Paris in time for a frock
To Boston in bean time
Darling meantime
Let's take a walk around the block

In winter at Christmas
We'll visit the Isthmus
And see how they lock up a lock And then in Caracas on a jackass We'll take a ride around the block

We'll keep to our promise
And visit St. Thomas
And then at Jamaica we'll dock The prospect is thrilling
Still I am willing
Just now to walk around the block Hey yeah

Onward to Cathay
Then Mandalay
then Vladivostok
Where Bolsheviks flock
We'll send the folks cables
Accumulate labels
Buy souvenirs till we're in hock But since we are flat in old Manhattan Let's take a walk around the block Let's take a walk around the block Let's take a walk around the block Let's take a walk around the block"
