There’s A Boat Dat’s Leavin’ Soon for New York

George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin

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

You and me can live that 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 strutting
We'll go a-strutting
And there'll be nothing
Too good for you

I'll dress you in silks and satins
In the latest Paris styles
All the blues you'll be forgetting
You'll be forgetting
There'll be no fretting
Just nothing but smiles

Come along with me
That's the place
Don't be a fool, come along
Come along!

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

[Instrumental Break]

There's a boat that's leaving soon for New York
Come with me
That's where we belong
Bess!
That's where we belong!
Come on, Bess!
