Verse:
Tempo, you know that good old tempo:
Chorus 1:
Just give me that Manhattan Downbeat
That beats a tempo of its own;
You've got to shout, "This is it!"
The day you visit
The jumpinest town has ever known.
Keep your Paree and London town beat
Up with your bockers stands alone;
Drive up any avenue, swing down any street,
No beat has Manhattan Downbeat beat!
Patter:
Manhattan has a beat that's all its own,
Manhattan has a beat to call its own.
So, Mister Leader, when you give the band the downbeat,
A one, two, three;
Chorus 2:
And give 'em that Manhattan Downbeat
That beats a tempo of its own;
You've got to shout, "This is it!"
The day you visit
The jumpinest town has ever known.
Keep your Paree and London town beat
Up with your bockers stands alone;
Drive up any avenue, swing down any street,
No beat has Manhattan Downbeat
No beat has Manhattan Downbeat
No beat has Manhattan Downbeat beat!
