Lyrics
Lillian Russel is fabulous fair
So is the girl on that sign over there
Ah, but to capture the maid of my heart
Challenges ev’ry photographer’s art
Charles Dana Gibson would even agree
No Stage-door John holds a candle to me
Refrain
When I’m out with the Belle of New York
With the beautiful Belle of New York
Ev’ry person we meet, like the cop on the beat
Leaves whatever he’s doing and crosses the street
It’s a beautiful sight after dark
When we’re strolling through Gramercy Park
The stars in her eyes, and the stars up above
Just fill me with oceans and oceans of love
And my heart bobs around like a cork
When I’m out with the Belle of New York
