[As sung in film:]
|
|
[Verse:]
|
There's a change in fashion that shows
|
In those Lenox Avenue clothes
|
Mister Dude has disappeared with his flashy tie
|
You'll see in the Harlem Esquire
|
What the well-dressed man will desire
|
When he's struttin' down the street with his sweetie-pie
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Sun tan, shade of green
|
Or an olive drab color scheme
|
That's what the well-dressed man in Harlem will wear
|
|
Dressed up in O.D.'s
|
With a tin hat for overseas
|
That's what the well-dressed man in Harlem will wear
|
|
Top hat, white tie and tails no more
|
They've been put away till after the war
|
|
If you want to know
|
Take a look at Brown Bomber Joe
|
That's what the well-dressed man in Harlem will wear
|
