| There’ll be bands everywhere, going to town
|
| There’ll be planes in the air, flying all around
|
| The browns will be there, laying 'em down
|
| Every day will be a Harlem holiday
|
| No more work, only play, you sleep when you choose
|
| You get paid any way; |
| now tell me, ain’t that news?
|
| Every song will be gay, no weary blues
|
| Every day will be a Harlem Holiday
|
| When the whole world’s down
|
| And the times look blue
|
| You’ll be high up on
|
| Lenox avenue
|
| There’ll be gals on the bank, gin will be free
|
| If you don’t get a break, don’t blame me
|
| Every spot that you got will be hotter than hot
|
| Every day will be a Harlem holiday! |
