Let's Take A Walk Around The Block Lyrics - Ella Fitzgerald

I never traveled further North than old Van Courtland 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 

 

To London in May time 

To Venice in play time 

To Paris in time for a frock 

To Boston in bean time 

Darling, meantime 

Let's take a walk around the block. 

 

(bridge) 

 

In Winter at Christmas, 

We'll visit the isthmus 

And see how they lock up a lock 

And then in Caracas, on a jackass, 

We'll take a ride around the block. 

 

We'll keep to our promise, 

To visit St. Thomas 

And then at Jamaica we'll dock 

The prospect is thrilling, 

Still I am willing, 

Just now to walk around the block. 

 

Onward, to Cathay 

Then to Mandalay 

Boom on to Bangkok 

P'r'aps Vladivostok 

 

We'll send the folks cables 

Accumulate labels 

Buy souvenirs till we're in hock 

But since we are flat in old Manhattan 

Let's take a walk around the block.
