You Discover you're in New York

(Phil Baker) And any coffee on you?

(Carmen Miranda) Such a very handsome fellow
So you come to welcome me?

(Phil Baker) In the place of Fiorello
I present you with the key

In Broadway, and Harlem
And Greenwich Village too
You'll see a lot of places
That will seem like home to you

(Carmen Miranda) Oh, yes?

You're in the kind of a place that seems
Like a little cabaret in Rio
Then you hear a Boogie-Woogie Trio
And you discover you're in New York

A senhorita with the flashing eyes
Looks to you as if she might be chummy
But she only wants to play gin-rummy
And you discover you're in New York

You hear a tropical drum
You drink a tropical rum
You're in a tropical spot
And yet, you really are not
In case you're missing the point
You're in a typical joint on gay Broadway

For just a minute or two, you feel
Like you're down around the old Equator
Then you're interrupted by the waiter
A South American named O'Rourke
And discover you're in New York

You're in the kind of an atmosphere
That would set a Latin heart-a-flutter

Then you try to get a piece of butter
And you discover you're in New York

You have a feeling you're in Brazil
And you hope the ladies understand you

Then you start to pay
The check they hand you
You discover you're in New York

You hear Hawaiian guitars
You smoke Havana cigars

You build a castle in Spain
And then you order chow-mein

(Alice Faye) And from a Swede or a Swiss
You get a tropical kiss on gay Broadway

(Carmen Miranda) You see a wonderful rumba dance
With the rhythm of the old West Indies
But you're right across the street from Lindy's
Or at the club they call the Stork
And discover you're in New York

(Carmen Miranda) You want to be with a big, strong man
And the jungle music is so creepy
But the gentleman with you is sleepy
And you discover you're in New York

And you discover you're in New York!

(Phil Baker) Now I can retire
Well, there's a good neighbor policy
Come on honey. Let's good-neighbor it. There we are
