words and music by George M. Cohan

Accompaniment track:
Lyrics
- 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
- 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
