Lyrics

[00:01.02] Joni Mitchell Harlem in Havana
[01:31.75] At the far end of the midway
[01:33.56]
[01:34.27] by the double ferris wheel
[01:36.35] There's a band that plays so snakey
[01:39.54] You can't help how you feel
[01:41.54] Emmie Mae ran away
[01:43.67] With a man as dark as night
[01:46.50] You can see him, if you go there
[01:48.72]
[01:49.47] Second trumpet to the right
[01:51.06]
[01:53.06] They play Night Train
[01:55.21] So snakey
[01:56.77]
[01:57.45] Black girls dancing
[01:58.45] Mitchell Joni
[02:00.20] Long and lanky
[02:01.77]
[02:02.65] Barkers barking
[02:04.16]
[02:04.90] Step right up, folks!
[02:07.09]
[02:07.77] The show is about to begin
[02:10.40]
[02:11.15] It's Harlem in Havana time
[02:15.64] Step right in!
[02:17.39]
[02:20.64] Silver spangles
[02:21.82] See 'em dangle in the farm boy's eyes
[02:28.02]
[02:30.51] Hootchie kootchie
[02:31.63] Auntie Ruthie would've cried
[02:34.75]
[02:35.26] If she knew we were on the inside.
[02:39.02]
[02:57.10] When Emmie Mae ran away
[02:59.72] She came back a bottle blonde
[03:02.15] God! The gossips had a gourmet feast
[03:04.98]
[03:07.68] miracle But of miracles
[03:09.71] Cuz we were underage
[03:11.84] She got us nearly front row seats
[03:15.22] To the right side of the stage
[03:16.95]
[03:18.82] See that tall girl?
[03:20.00]
[03:21.33] That's a man
[03:22.11]
[03:23.36] That one, too
[03:24.43]
[03:25.43] Big yellow feather fan
[03:27.18]
[03:29.05] Barkers barking
[03:30.11]
[03:30.67] Step right up, folks!
[03:32.02]
[03:33.10] The show is about to begin
[03:36.24]
[03:36.80] It's Harlem in Havana time
[03:40.61]
[03:41.30] Step right in!
[03:44.66]
[03:46.35] Silver spangles
[03:47.60] 'em See dangle in the farm boy's eyes
[03:54.10]
[03:56.16] Hootchie kootchie
[03:57.41] Auntie Ruthie would've died
[03:59.97]
[04:00.90] If she knew we were on the inside.
