Duke Ellington
Drop Me Off In Harlem
[Verse 1]
Drop me off in Harlem
Any place in Harlem
There's someone waiting there
Who makes it seem like Heaven up in Harlem
I don't want your Dixie
You can keep your Dixie
There's no one down in Dixie
Who can take me 'way from my hot Harlem

[Bridge]
Harlem has those southern skies
They're in my baby's smile
I idolize my baby's eyes
And classy Uptown style

[Verse 2]
If Harlem moved to China
I know of nothing finer
Than to stow away on a plane someday
And have them drop me off in Harlem

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Mmm, Harlem has those southern skies
They're in my baby's smile
I idolize my baby's eyes
And classy Uptown style
[Verse 2]
If Harlem moved to China
I know of nothing finer
Than to stow away on a plane someday
And have them drop me off in Harlem

[Scatting]

[Outro]
If Harlem moved to China
I know nothing finer than to be in Harlem
