Tempo, you know that good old tempo:Just give me that Manhattan DownbeatThat beats a tempo of its own;You've got to shout, "This is it!"The day you visitThe jumpinest town has ever been known.Keep your Paree and London town beatUp with your 'bockers stands alone;Drive up any avenue, swing down any street,No beat has Manhattan Downbeat beat!Manhattan has a beat that's all its own,Manhattan has a beat to call its own.So, Mister Leader, when you give the band the downbeat,A one, two, three;And give 'em that Manhattan DownbeatThat beats a tempo of its own;You've got to shout, "This is it!"The day you visitThe jumpinest town has ever been known.Keep your Paree and London town beatUp with your 'bockers stands alone;Drive up any avenue, swing down any street,No beat has Manhattan DownbeatNo beat has Manhattan DownbeatNo beat has Manhattan Downbeat beat!
