Harlem On My Mind (10-10-33) |
Em’ralds in my bracelets and diamonds in my rings |
A Riviera chateau and a lot of other things |
And I’m blue, so blue am I |
Lots of ready money in seven diff’rent banks |
I counted up this morning, it’s about a million francs |
And I’m blue, so blue, and I know why |
I’ve got Harlem on my mind |
I’ve a longing to be lowdown |
And my «parlez-vous» will not ring true |
With Harlem on my mind |
I’ve been wined and I’ve been dined |
But I’m heading for a showdown |
'Cause I can’t go on from night to dawn |
With Harlem on my mind |
I go to supper with a French Marquis |
Each evening after the show |
My lips begin to whisper «Mon Cheri» |
But my heart keeps singing «Hi-de-ho» |
I’ve become too darn refined |
And at night I hate to go down |
To the high-falutin' flat that Lady Mendel designed |
With Harlem on my mind |
