Dat's a boat dat's leavin' will soon for New York
Come wid me, dat's where we belong, sister
You an' me can live dat high life in New York
Come wid me, dere you can't go wrong, sister
I'll buy you de swellest mansion
Up on upper Fifth Avenue
An' 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 de latest Paris style
And de blues you'll forget, you'll be forget'
There'll be no frettin' but smiles
Come along wid me
Dat's de place, don't be a fool
Come along, come along
There's a boat dat's leavin' soon for New York
Come wid me, dat's where we belong
Oh sister, dat's where we belong!
