There's a party in Harlem, come on |
|
I like to reminisce about that night we kissed |
|
It was somewhere one night in Harlem |
|
The nights were hot and bright |
|
You could treat your honey right |
|
Cuz Sylvia's would burn all night |
|
The people there were really something |
|
(You know that's right) |
|
The music always kept us jumping |
|
And it used to knock me down |
|
When Smokey came to town |
|
(And the miracles, please) |
|
My favorite song was "Tears Of A Clown", oh yeah |
|
There ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem |
|
They really shake the funk up there |
|
Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem |
|
And I'm gonna take my baby back |
|
To the heart of Harlem |
|
Big sister had a group |
|
And they'd sit out on the stoop |
|
And Lordy could they harmonize (Oh yeah) |
|
My cousin Joe could blow |
|
Just like the radio |
|
And he used to drove them "B" girls wild |
|
But when grandma started happy dancing |
|
(Oh, she gon' break somethin') |
|
She really turned the mother out |
|
I like the way they do it up in Harlem |
|
When there's a party up in Harlem |
|
That's what it's all about |
|
Ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem |
|
They never fake the funk up there |
|
I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem |
|
And tonight I'm gonna take her back to the 'pollo |
|
There's a party in Harlem |
|
They say that all the stars will be there |
|
Everyone is going to Harlem |
|
Harlem is a party and everybody's going there |
|
[Precise] |
|
Follow me visually, cuz I usually be all around |
|
Originallly everybody headed uptown |
|
Finessing the fly way you crisin in your car |
|
On the West Side to the highway, East Side D-R |
|
And yes, we are about to set it |
|
Forget it, I thought you knew |
|
The Apollo is where I had to go with my crew |
|
From BMW's to my daddy's Cadillac |
|
He had the sunroof top wit the diamond in the back |
|
Check the ambiance, the place a renaissance |
|
Who frontin' nonchallant up in the restaurant |
|
What you really really want, we grabbin by the clutch |
|
Precise can flaunt with this and never too much |
|
It's such a love flow, high but natural |
|
The thug's a no-show, and drugs a no-no |
|
The only thing that they was shootin' was pool |
|
While Harlem nights was right, the party was cool |
|
Nothing like them nights in Harlem |
|
They really shake the funk up there |
|
Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem |
|
I'm gonna take my baby back to the heart of Harlem |
|
Nights in Harlem |
|
They never fake the funk up there |
|
I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem |
|
Back to the Harlem Apollo |
|
Nights in Harlem |
|
They don't let you fake the funk up there |
|
Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem |
|
I'm gonna take my honey |
|
Back to the Harlem Apollow |
|
Nights in Harlem |
|
They really shake the funk up there |
|
Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem |
|
I'm gonna take my baby |
|
Back to the Harlem Apollo |
