Lyrics

  1. Did you ever see two Yankees part
    Upon a foreign shore
    When the good ship’s just about to start
    For Old New York once more?
    With tear-dimmed eye they say goodbye
    They’re friends without a doubt
    When the man on the pier shouts
    “Let them clear” as the ship strikes out

Chorus
Give my regards to Broadway,
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
That I will soon be there
Whisper of how I’m yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
And say that I’ll be there e’er long

  1. Say hello to dear old Coney Isle
    If there you chance to be
    When you’re at the Waldorf have a smile
    And charge it up to me
    Mention my name every place you go
    As ’round the town you roam
    Wish you’d call on my gal, now remember, old, pal
    When you get back home
