The Man From Harlem - Cab Calloway[00:00:00]
It was up at Mike's the other night [00:00:35]
There was really quite a sight [00:00:37]
Gather round folks [00:00:39]
While I give you all the lowdown [00:00:40]
Tables were filled[00:00:43]
With gaudy frails [00:00:44]
Chewing on their fingernails;[00:00:44]
They were waiting[00:00:47]
For the man from Harlem [00:00:48]
Drinks were[00:00:55]
Served six bits a throw [00:00:55]
Things were moving kind of slow [00:00:57]
Everybody's[00:00:59]
Nerves were getting jumpy [00:00:59]
All at once the room was still [00:01:03]
Men forgot all about their bill [00:01:04]
Who should enter but the man from Harlem[00:01:07]
Everybody rolled their eyes [00:01:27]
Women starting heaving sighs [00:01:28]
Someone hollered "Music lights and gin "[00:01:31]
Everybody cleared a space [00:01:34]
They had big [00:01:36]
Broad smiles on every face [00:01:36]
How they all[00:01:38]
Loved to see the man from Harlem [00:01:39]
When he started in to step[00:01:46]
He filled everyone with plenty pep [00:01:48]
He twitched and squirmed;[00:01:50]
It just was a dirty shame [00:01:52]
Everyone was in a daze [00:01:54]
Women watched him with amaze [00:01:56]
Each one said she'd[00:01:58]
Have the man from Harlem [00:01:59]
He looked over in the corner [00:02:19]
And saw a couple of frails[00:02:20]
And they sure did look kinda low [00:02:21]
Another cat walked up [00:02:23]
And said to the man from Harlem [00:02:24]
"Go over there[00:02:25]
And see what's the matter with them girls "[00:02:25]
And they said "I'm kinda low "[00:02:28]
And he said "I've got just what you need:[00:02:29]
Come on sisters [00:02:30]
Light up on these weeds and[00:02:31]
Get high and forget about everything "[00:02:32]
