Lyrics

Give my regards to Broadway

Expressing a farewell message to Broadway

Remember me to Herald Square

Pass on my greetings to Herald Square

Tell all the gang at Forty-Second Street

Inform everyone at Forty-Second Street

That I will soon be there

Announcing the intention to return soon


Whisper of how I'm yearning

Revealing a deep desire and yearning

To mingle with the old-time throng

Wanting to be part of the old-time crowd

Give my regards to Old Broadway

Send my greetings to the traditional Broadway

And say that I'll be there, 'ere long

Indicate that the sender will arrive shortly


Did you ever see two Yankees

Describing a scene of two Yankees parting abroad

Part upon a foreign shore?

Reflecting on the separation on foreign shores

When the good ship's just about to start

Noting the departure of a ship heading to Old New York

For Old New York once more?

Expressing the anticipation of returning to Old New York


With tear-dimmed eye, they say goodbye

Depicting an emotional farewell with tearful eyes

They're friends, without a doubt

Asserting the strong friendship between them

When the man on the pier shouts, "let them clear"

Advising to clear the way as the ship departs

As the ship strikes out

Observing the ship setting sail


Give my regards to Broadway

Reiterating the farewell message to Broadway

Remember me to Herald Square

Requesting to be remembered at Herald Square

Tell all the gang at Forty-Second Street

Asking for regards to be given to Forty-Second Street

That I will soon be there

Repeating the intention to return soon


Whisper of how I'm yearning

Expressing a strong yearning once again

To mingle with the old-time throng

Desiring to be among the old-time crowd

Give my regards to Old Broadway

Conveying greetings to the traditional Broadway

And say that I'll be there, 'ere long

Reiterating the plan to be there shortly


Give my regards to Broadway

Restating the farewell message to Broadway

Remember me to Herald Square

Reminding to be remembered at Herald Square

Tell all the gang at Forty-Second Street

Repeating the request for regards to Forty-Second Street

That I will soon be there

Reaffirming the intention to return soon


Whisper of how I'm yearning

Expressing a persistent yearning

To mingle with the old-time throng

Continuing the desire to be with the old-time crowd

Give my regards to Old Broadway

Sending regards to the traditional Broadway once more

And say that I'll be there, 'ere long

Reiterating the assurance of being there shortly
