Let’s Take a Walk Around the Block (Master Take) Ella Fitzgerald

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 in swank
And I don't mean an ordinary Cook's tour
I mean a cabin 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
