New York is a wonderful town,
A very stimulating place to be.
It's full of galleries and exhibitions,
Most are absolutely free.
And concerts like at Lewisohn Stadium,
Plus at Carnegie Hall.
We sit way up top,
But it's wonderful acoustics,
That's where it sounds best of all.
Art lectures at the Metropolitan —
I attended Ancient Greece the other day.
The modern dance and ballet
At the Y.M. and W.H.A.
And legitimate plays on Broadway.
Don't you think Odets is great?
Not downstairs, of course.
We get last-minute balcony down at Gray's cut-rate.
What better way can a single girl
With leisure spare time find
Than to go around, broaden out her background,
Also improve her mind?
Plus it give more chances
For meeting up with people, wouldn't you say?
Such as certain members of the opposite sex
She hopes to get involved with some day.
And who can tell, who knows
When they might come one's way!

REFRAIN

Who knows when I'll see him, who knows?
Or why it will be him, who knows?
Perfect he doesn't have to be,
Good-looking, or rich, or smart,
Long as he's crazy after me,
And we see heart to heart.
Who knows when he'll be there, who knows?
One day he'll see me there and hold out his arms.
Then he'll kiss me, say he loves me, and propose.
But why, when, where, who knows?
