Mama remembers the four-leaf clover
And the bright blue Irish sky
I remember East River Parkway
And the tugboats passing by
I remember Third Avenue
And the "L" trains overhead
And our one window-sill geranium
Blooming red, warm and red
Mama remembers Ireland;
All I remember is here

Papa remembers the plains of Poland
And moonlight on the snow
I remember autumn
With the skyscrapers all aglow
I remember the games we played
With lamplight overhead
And our one window-sill geranium
Blooming red, warm and red

All I remember is here
This house, this street, this city
And it's dear, yes, it's dear!
