Harlem On My Mind |
| 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 |
