Let'S Take A Walk Around The Block

I never traveled further north than old Van Cortlandt Park
And never further south than the aquarium
I've seen the charm of Jersey City, but first let me remark
I saw it from the Empire State Solarium
But we've been putting nickels in the Postal Savings Bank
And when those nickels pile up, we can toddle off and swank
And I don't mean an ordinary Cook's tour
I mean a Carbone de Luxe tour
Someday we'll go places, new lands and new faces
The day we quit punching the clock
The future looks pleasant, but at present
Let's take a walk around the block
You're just the companion I want at Grand Canyon
For throwing old blades down the rock
The money we have'll go for travel
Meantime, let's walk around the block
Gangway! We'll begin when our ship comes in
I'll sit on your lap all over the map
To London in May time, to Venice in play time
To Paris in time for a frock
To Boston in bean time, darling, meantime
Let's take a walk around the block
In winter at Christmas we'll visit the Isthmus
And see how they lock up a loch
And then in Caracas on a jackass
We'll take a ride around the block
We'll keep to our promise to visit St. Thomas
And then at Jamaica we'll dock
The prospect is thrilling, still I'm willing
Just now to talk around the block
Onward to Cathay, then to Mandalay
Vroom on to Bangkok, perhaps Vladivostok
We'll send the folks cables, accumulate labels
Buy souvenirs till we're in hock
But since we are flat in old Manhattan
Let's take a walk around the block
