Drop me off in Harlem,
|
any place in Harlem,
|
There's someone waiting there
|
who makes it seem like
|
Heaven up in Harlem.
|
|
I don't want your Dixie,
|
you can keep your Dixie,
|
there's no one down in Dixie who can take me
|
'way from my hot Harlem,
|
|
Harlem has those southern skies,
|
they're in my baby's smile, I
|
idolize my baby's eyes and
|
classy up-town style,
|
|
If Harlem moved to China,
|
I know of nothing finer,
|
Than to stow away on a 'plane some day and have them
|
drop me off in Harlem.

I know nothing finer than to be in Harlem
