Sadly, Hank passed away on Oct 19, 2014. He will be missed by his many customers and friends, and his contribution to OTR was significant.

Climb on the Manhattan Merry Go Round
We're touring alluring New York Town
Broadway or Harlem, wherever we go
You're welcome to join us on your radio

Oh, we won't be home until morning,
On the Manhattan Merry Go Round

Manhattan Merry Go Round by Gustave Haenschen
1st verse
Jump on the MAN-HAT-TAN-MER-RY GO-ROUND, We'll show-down the
low-down on New York Town; Broadway, the Bow-'ry and Park Av-en-ue;
With tidbits of new hits and gossip for you; So smile and bright-en up your faces,
Hot-cha, cha we're going places; And we won't get home until morning,
On the MAN-HAT-TAN MER-RY GO-ROUND.
2nd verse
Jump on the MAN-HAT-TAN MER-RY GO-ROUND, We're touring alluring
old New York Town; Broadway, or Harlem a musical show;
Be our guest, as you're at your radio; We're serving music, song and laughter;
Start and you'll be happy after; And we'd like to have you all with us;
On the MAN-HAT-TAN MER-RY GO-ROUND.

I believe they started the show with the 2nd verse and ended with the
1st verse. As the show was on for quite awhile they might have changed the lyrics from time to time.
