Larry Hart and Richard Rodgers Were a pair of artful dodgers Who found success In the US; For myself, I find New Yorkers Somewhat brash and rather raucous -- Why don't we stay In the UK?
We had Manhattan, we had the chattin' and the talk, We had that song about New York, But there's a city that's far more pretty in the West, I think you may have guessed, I know you'll be impressed, It's the best. As Aquae Sulis this little jewel is sometimes known, A place the Georgians made their own; This is the city you can't forget, Restored into Somerset -- Who'd have Manhattan when you can come to Bath?
The Royal Crescent is always pleasant on the eye, And now those buses don't pass by. Go round the Circus -- what else could work as perfectly? Admire its symmetry, A circle cut in three, Radially. The bridge at Pulteney would not insult Neapolitans, And even Florentines are fans; This is the city without compare, Remember to see Queen Square -- Who'd have Manhattan when you can come to Bath?
Down by the Avon, it's such a haven from the crowd, The rugby never seems too loud; Round by the Abbey it's never shabby, dull or flat -- The buskers see to that, Put something in their hat, Rat-a-tat. In Sydney Gardens they need no pardons for the view, You've got canal and railway too. This is the city no one can spoil, So visit the Theatre Royal -- Who'd have Manhattan when you can come to Bath?
Go up to Combe Down -- there's loads of room down Foxhill way, Go round to Walcot Street and play. Go out to Twerton and do some flirtin' for a lark, Or really make your mark And go to Oldfield Park After dark. Go down to Whiteway -- you know the right way, I assume, Or take a trip to Monkton Combe. This is the city of home and hearth, You know every street and path -- Who'd have Manhattan when you can live in Bath?
