Long About Midnight (01-22-34) |
Just take a look at Harlem after sundown |
Any time you choose; |
It’s hard to find the people feeling run-down; |
There’s no time for blues |
If you don’t know just what to really do |
Just take a walk along the avenue; |
You’ll hear the sounds come a-floatin' through |
Along about midnight |
They close the windows and they dim the light |
To hide their doings from a stranger’s sight; |
Everything is going right |
'Long about midnight |
Pianos tinkle, and the couples sway |
Taking the pleasures they find |
They don’t care how they live by day |
Why not leave trouble behind? |
They’re not pretending like the hoy-falloy; |
They really mean it; |
it’s the real McCoy |
They turn an ounce of booze into a pound of joy |
'Long about midnight! |
