We'll go to Yonkers, where true love conquers in the wilds, 

And starve together, Dear, in Childs'.

In Central Park we'll stroll  

Where our first kiss we stole, soul to soul. 

And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show, they say; 

We both may see it close someday. 

The city's clamour can never spoil the dreams of a boy and goil;
