You must take the A train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem

If you miss the A train
You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem

Hurry, get on, now it's coming
Listen to those rails a-thrumming

All aboard, get on the A train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem

You must take the A train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem

If you miss the A train
You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem

But you gotta hurry, get on, now it's coming
Listen to those rails a-thrumming

All aboard, get on the A train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
