Manhattan In December Billy Stritch

[Verse 1:]
April in Paris is grand, who could deny it?
October in New England is delightful, you must try it
June, July and August
Straight to Venice, by the Sea
But when the air turns chilly, there's just one place
That I really wanna be

[Chorus:]
I love Manhattan in December
I like the Big Apple dipped in snow
Christmas everywhere, with colored lights to spare
And Broadway looking great in winter glow-oh

I love Manhattan in December
Give me the park when the trees are bare
Skate around the Lake, catch a cold snowflake
Or ride a Carriage through the crispy air

[Verse 2:]
Sittin' in my cozy flat, on 44th Street
Playing that King Cole and, putting up my feet
I'm looking out my window thinking
Gee, my laugh is sweet
Hell's Kitchen looks like Heaven
In the snow, by now you know
