Joni Mitchell Harlem in Havana
At the far end of the midway

by the double ferris wheel
There's a band that plays so snakey
You can't help how you feel
Emmie Mae ran away
With a man as dark as night
You can see him, if you go there

Second trumpet to the right

They play Night Train
So snakey

Black girls dancing
Mitchell Joni
Long and lanky

Barkers barking

Step right up, folks!

The show is about to begin

It's Harlem in Havana time
Step right in!

Silver spangles
See 'em dangle in the farm boy's eyes

Hootchie kootchie
Auntie Ruthie would've cried

If she knew we were on the inside.

When Emmie Mae ran away
She came back a bottle blonde
God! The gossips had a gourmet feast

miracle But of miracles
Cuz we were underage
She got us nearly front row seats
To the right side of the stage

See that tall girl?

That's a man

That one, too

Big yellow feather fan

Barkers barking

Step right up, folks!

The show is about to begin

It's Harlem in Havana time

Step right in!

Silver spangles
'em See dangle in the farm boy's eyes

Hootchie kootchie
Auntie Ruthie would've died

If she knew we were on the inside.
