Here are all of my images set to this great Harold Arlen tune with lyrics by two original LES boys, Ira Gershwin and Yip Harburg. (rhyming Bangkok and Vladisvostok!) Song by two of my favorites, Jackie Cain and Roy Kral.
to be fixed
Someday we'll go places
New lands and new faces
The day we quit punching the clock
The future looks pleasant,
But at present
Let's take a walk around the block.
You're just the companion
I want at grand canyon
For throwing old blades down the rock
The money we have`ll go for travel
Meantime, let's walk around the block.
Gangway, we'll begin
When our, ship comes in
I'll sit on your lap
All over the map
To london in may time
To venice in play time
To paris in time for a frock
To boston in bean time
Darling, meantime
Let's take a walk around the block.
In winter at christmas,
We'll visit the isthmus
And see how they lock up a lock
And then in caracas, on a jackass,
We'll take a ride around the block.
We'll keep to our promise,
To visit st. thomas
And then at jamaica we'll dock
The prospect is thrilling,
Still i am willing,
Just now to talk around the block.
Onward, to cathay
Then to mandalay
Boom on to bangkok
P'r'aps vladivostok
We'll send the folks cables
Accumulate labels
Buy souvenirs till we're in hock
But since we are flat in old manhattan
Let's take a walk
