There's a Boat That's Leavin' Soon for New York (Extrait De La Comédie Musicale « Porgy and Bess ») - Harry Belafonte

There’s a boat that’s leavin' soon for New York

Come with me, that’s where we belong, sister

You an' me, Kin, live that high life in New York

Come with me, there we can’t go wrong, sister

I’ll buy you the swellest mansion, up on upper Fifth Avenue

An' thru Harlem we’ll go struttin', we’ll go a struttin'

An' there’ll be nuttin' too good for you

I’ll dress up in silks and satins in the latest Paris styles

And de blues you’ll be forgettin', you’ll be forgettin'

There’ll be no frettin', just nothin' but smiles

Come along with me, that’s the place

Don’t be a fool, come along, come along

There’s a boat that’s leavin' soon for New York

Come with me, that’s where we belong, sister

That’s where we belong
