Presentation of Miss Turnstiles Songtext
von Jay Armstrong Johnson

Can you imagine what that Miss Turnstiles must be like?
To win such a title
Miss Turnstiles for June

Miss Turnstiles for June!
Every month
Some lucky little New York miss
Is chosen Miss Turnstiles for the month
She′s gotta be beautiful
She's gotta be just an average girl
And most important of all
She′s got to ride the subway!


There are 5,683 women
Who ride the subway every day
And which fortunate lassie
Will be picked this month
For the signal honor?
Beautiful, brilliant
Average
A typical New Yorker!

Who, me?

Yes, you, Ivy Smith!

She's a home-loving girl
But she loves high society's whirl
She adores the army
The navy as well
At poetry and polo
She′s swell

But of course, at the end of each month
A new Miss Turnstiles is chosen
And when that happens
