[Chorus]
There's a boat that's leavin', oh, soon for New York
Come with me
That's where we belong, sister
You and me can live that high life in New York
Come with me
There you can't go wrong, sister

[Verse 1]
I'll buy you the swellest mansion
Up on upper Fifth Avenue
And through Harlem we go struttin'
We go struttin'
And there'll be nothin'
Too good for you

[Verse 2]
I'll dress you in silks and satin
In the latest Paris style
All the blues you'll forgettin'
You'll be forgettin'
There'll be no frettin'
But smiles

[Pre-Chorus]
Come along with me, that's the place
Don't be a fool, come along, come along
[Chorus]
There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Come with me
That's where we belong
Oh sister, that's where we belong

[Trumpet Solo]

[Chorus]
There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Come with me
That's where we belong, sister
You and me can live that high life in New York
Come with me
There you can't go wrong, sister

[Verse 1]
I'll buy you the swellest mansion
Up on upper Fifth Avenue
And through Harlem we go struttin'
We go struttin'
And there'll be nothin'
Too good for you

[Verse 2]
I'll dress you in silks and satins
In the latest Paris style
All the blues you'll be gettin'
You'll be forgettin'
There'll be no frettin'
Nothin' but smiles, honey
[Pre-Chorus]
Come along with me, there's the place
Don't be a fool, come along, come along

[Chorus]
There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Come along with me
That's where we belong
Yeah sister, that's where we belong
Yes, sister, sister
