Women!

Women, all around the world

Women, look up to you girl

You are the leader, sweeter

Than a honeycomb

I know that New York city is where you go

New York city is your home

Manhattan woman

You are so fine

Manhattan woman

Ooh, wee, I love your kind

Manhattan woman

You look so good

Manhattan woman

You're the one having fun

Woman, you shop everyday

You like to look good

So good at the proper time of day

I know that money, honey,

Always makes a smile

You'd like to eat her

Meet her, party for a while

You'd like to eat her

Meet her, I just love your style

Manhattan woman

You are so fine

Manhattan woman

Ooh, wee, I love your kind

Manhattan woman

You look so good

Manhattan woman

You're the one having fun
