Tempo, you know that good old tempo:
Just give me that Manhattan Downbeat
That beats a tempo of its own;
You've got to shout, "This is it!"
The day you visit
The jumpinest town has ever been known.
Keep your Paree and London town beat
Up 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 Downbeat
That beats a tempo of its own;
You've got to shout, "This is it!"
The day you visit
The jumpinest town has ever been known.
Keep your Paree and London town beat
Up with your 'bockers stands alone;
Drive up any avenue, swing down any street,
No beat has Manhattan Downbeat
No beat has Manhattan Downbeat
No beat has Manhattan Downbeat beat!

Tempo, you know that good old tempo:
Just give me that Manhattan Downbeat
That beats a tempo of its own;
You've got to shout, "This is it!"
The day you visit
The jumpinest town has ever been known.
Keep your Paree and London town beat
Up 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 Downbeat

No beat has Manhattan Downbeat
No beat has Manhattan Downbeat
No beat has Manhattan Downbeat beat!
Just give me that Manhattan Downbeat

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 Downbeat
That beats a tempo of its own;
You've got to shout, "This is it!"
The day you visit
The jumpinest town has ever been known.
Keep your Paree and London town beat
Up with your 'bockers stands alone;
Drive up any avenue, swing down any street,
No beat has Manhattan Downbeat
No beat has Manhattan Downbeat
No beat has Manhattan Downbeat beat!
