Hello New York 1918 'The Bing Boys On Broadway'

One day I took a crazy notion.
I thought I'd like to cross the ocean,
and see the great big land where
all the dollars flow
and the millionaires grow.
I like the clamour and the bustle,
I like the bustle and the noise,
so let me say to U.S.A.
and all you girls and boys:

Hello! Old New York!
Hats off to you!
I guess you'll show me a thing or two,
you're some big town.
Columbus said when he noticed you:
"Put me right down!"
Bright lights on Broadway,
Fifth Avenue!
Forty Second Street and Herald Square,
tell them to expect me there.
Hello! New York!
How do you do.

Hello! Old New York!
Hats off to you!
I guess you'll show me a thing or two,
you're some big town.
Columbus said when he noticed you:
"Put me right down!"
Bright lights on Broadway,
Fifth Avenue!
Forty Second Street and Herald Square,
tell them to expect me there.
Hello! New York!
How do you do.

It surely is a mighty nation.
To ever think of syncopation,
you feel you must keep dancing
when you hear them play
that American way.
Oh! Take me all around the city,
I guess it's time we paid a call,
it's up to you to see me through,
I want to see it all!

Hello! Old New York!
Hats off to you!
I guess you'll show me a thing or two,
you're some big town.
Columbus said when he noticed you:
"Put me right down!"
Bright lights on Broadway,
Fifth Avenue!
Forty Second Street and Herald Square,
tell them to expect me there.
Hello! New York!
How do you do.
Hello! Old New York!
Hats off to you!
I guess you'll show me a thing or two,
you're some big town.
Columbus said when he noticed you:
"Put me right down!"
Bright lights on Broadway,

Forty Second Street and Herald Square,
tell them to expect me there.
Hello! New York!
How do you do.
