Deep In The Heart Of Harlem |
A dog barking at the crack of dawn |
A baby’s crying 'cause his mama’s gone |
I toss and turn and then I stretch and yawn |
Another morning, another day |
In the heart of Harlem |
I feel the tenement coming alive |
Another working day I’ve gotta survive |
Fighting the foreman from 8:30 till 5 |
To make a dollar so I can live |
In the heart of Harlem |
I pitch and kick and |
Get my feelings hurt downtown |
I’m just a little spoke |
That helps the wheel go round |
If I was rich, maybe I’d move away |
Out to the country where my kids could play |
But I can’t make it on my poor man’s pay |
We gotta stay here, can’t get away |
Get away from Harlem |
If I was rich, maybe I’d move away |
Out to the country where my kids could play |
But I can’t make it on my poor man’s pay |
We gotta stay here, can’t get away |
Get away from Harlem |
Deep, deep in the heart of Harlem |
So deep, so deep, so deep |
In the heart of Harlem |
