Drop Me off in Harlem Songtext

von Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

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
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
If Harlem moved to China
I know nothing finer
Than to be in Harlem
