The Man from Harlem - Cab Calloway/Slam Stewart (斯莱姆·斯图尔特)[00:00:00]
It was up at Mike's the other night [00:00:36]
There was really quite a sight [00:00:39]
Gather round folks while I give you all the lowdown [00:00:41]
Tables were filled with gaudy frails [00:00:45]
Chewing on their fingernails;[00:00:47]
They were waiting for the man from Harlem [00:00:49]
Drinks were served six bits a throw [00:00:57]
Things were moving kind of slow [00:00:59]
Everybody's nerves were getting jumpy [00:01:01]
All at once the room was still [00:01:05]
Men forgot all about their bill [00:01:07]
Who should enter but the man from Harlem [00:01:09]
Everybody rolled their eyes [00:01:30]
Women starting heaving sighs [00:01:32]
Someone hollered "Music lights and gin "[00:01:34]
Everybody cleared a space [00:01:38]
They had big broad smiles on every face [00:01:39]
How they all loved to see the man from Harlem [00:01:42]
When he started in to step[00:01:51]
He filled everyone with plenty pep [00:01:53]
He twitched and squirmed; it just was a dirty shame [00:01:55]
Everyone was in a daze [00:01:59]
Women watched him with amaze [00:02:01]
Each one said she'd have the man from Harlem [00:02:03]
He looked over in the corner [00:02:24]
And saw a couple of frails and they sure did look kinda low [00:02:26]
Another cat walked up and said to the man from Harlem [00:02:29]
"see what's the matter with them girls "[00:02:31]
"I'm kinda low "[00:02:34]
"I've got just what you need:[00:02:35]
Come on sisters light up on these weeds and get high and forget about everything "[00:02:36]
