[quote=Beach][FONT=Georgia]My favourite songwriters of all time were Rodgers & Hart
with Richard Rogers supplying the music to Lorenz (Larry) Hart's words.
The words and the melodies were always brilliant and one of mine and Shirley's favourites was (I'll take) Manhattan - the words of which follow.

[I]Summer journeys
To Niag'ra
And to other places
Aggravate all our cares.
We'll save our fares.
I've a cozy little flat
In what is known as old Manhattan.
We'll settle down
Right here in town.
