《The Man From Harlem》歌词

[00:00:01] The Man From Harlem - Original - Cab Calloway

[00:00:36] It was up at Mike's the other night

[00:00:39] There was really quite a sight

[00:00:41] Gather round folks while I give you all the lowdown

[00:00:44] Tables were filled with gaudy frails

[00:00:47] Chewing on their fingernails;

[00:00:49] They were waiting for the man from Harlem

[00:00:57] Drinks were served six bits a throw

[00:00:59] Things were moving kind of slow

[00:01:01] Everybody's nerves were getting jumpy

[00:01:06] All at once the room was still

[00:01:07] Men forgot all about their bill

[00:01:09] Who should enter but the man from Harlem

[00:01:30] Everybody rolled their eyes

[00:01:32] Women starting heaving sighs

[00:01:34] Someone hollered "Music lights and gin "

[00:01:38] Everybody cleared a space

[00:01:40] They had big broad smiles on every face

[00:01:42] How they all loved to see the man from Harlem

[00:01:50] When he started in to step

[00:01:52] He filled everyone with plenty pep

[00:01:55] He twitched and squirmed; it just was a dirty shame

[00:01:59] Everyone was in a daze

[00:02:01] Women watched him with amaze

[00:02:03] Each one said she'd have the man from Harlem

[00:02:25] He looked over in the corner

[00:02:25] And saw a couple of frails and they sure did look kinda low

[00:02:28] Another cat walked up and said to the man from Harlem

[00:02:31] "Go over there and see what's the matter with them girls "

[00:02:33] And they said "I'm kinda low "

[00:02:35] And he said "I've got just what you need:

[00:02:36] Come on sisters light up on these weeds and get high and forget about everything "
