"Give My Regards To Broadway"
|
|
|
|
|
1. |
Did you ever see two Yankees part upon a foreign shore
When the good ship's just about to start for Old New York once more?
With a tear-dimmed eye they say goodbye, they're friends without a doubt;
When the man on the pier shouts, "Let them clear!", as the ship strikes out... |
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
|
|
Give my regards to Broadway, remember me to Herald Square,
Tell all the gang at Forty-Second Street, that I will soon be there;
Whisper of how I'm yearning to mingle with the old time throng;
Give my regards to old Broadway and say that I'll be there e're long.

|
2. |
Say hello to dear old Coney Isle, if there you chance to be,
When you're at the Waldorf[1] have a "smile" [2] and charge it up to me;
Mention my name ev'ry place you go, as 'round the town you roam;
Wish you'd call on my gal, now remember, old pal, when you get back home... |
