《The Man from Harlem》歌词

[00:00:00] Man from Harlem - Cab Calloway

[00:00:35] It was up at Mike＇s the other night

[00:00:37] There was really quite a sight

[00:00:39] Gather round folks

[00:00:40] While I give you all the lowdown

[00:00:43] Tables were filled

[00:00:44] With gaudy frails

[00:00:44] Chewing on their fingernails;

[00:00:47] They were waiting

[00:00:48] For the man from Harlem

[00:00:55] Drinks were

[00:00:55] Served six bits a throw

[00:00:57] Things were moving kind of slow

[00:00:59] Everybody's

[00:00:59] Nerves were getting jumpy

[00:01:03] All at once the room was still

[00:01:04] Men forgot all about their bill

[00:01:07] Who should enter but the man from Harlem

[00:01:27] Everybody rolled their eyes

[00:01:28] Women starting heaving sighs

[00:01:31] Someone hollered "Music lights and gin "

[00:01:34] Everybody cleared a space

[00:01:36] They had big

[00:01:36] Broad smiles on every face

[00:01:38] How they all

[00:01:39] Loved to see the man from Harlem

[00:01:46] When he started in to step

[00:01:48] He filled everyone with plenty pep

[00:01:50] He twitched and squirmed;

[00:01:52] It just was a dirty shame

[00:01:54] Everyone was in a daze

[00:01:56] Women watched him with amaze

[00:01:58] Each one said she'd

[00:01:59] Have the man from Harlem

[00:02:19] He looked over in the corner

[00:02:20] And saw a couple of frails

[00:02:21] And they sure did look kinda low

[00:02:23] Another cat walked up

[00:02:24] And said to the man from Harlem

[00:02:25] "Go over there

[00:02:25] And see what's the matter with them girls "

[00:02:28] And they said "I'm kinda low "

[00:02:29] And he said "I've got just what you need:

[00:02:30] Come on sisters

[00:02:31] Light up on these weeds and

[00:02:32] Get high and forget about everything "
