Harlem In Havana LP Version
At the far end of the midway By the double ferris wheel There's a band that plays so snaky 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 snaky Black girls dancing 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com She came back a bottle blonde God, the gossips had a gourmet feast Chomping on how she was born But miracle 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 See 'em dangle in the farm boy's eyes Hootchie kootchie Auntie Ruthie would've died If she knew we were on the inside
