Harlem in Havana |
| At the far end of the midway |
| By the double ferris wheel |
| There’s a band that plays so snakey |
| You can’t help how you feel |
| Emmie Mae ran away |
| With a man as dark as night |
| You can see him, if you go there |
| Second trumpet to the right |
| They play «Night Train» |
| So snakey |
| Black girls dancing |
| Long and lanky |
| Barkers barking |
| Step right up, folks! |
| The show is about to begin |
| It’s Harlem in Havana time |
| Step right in! |
| Silver spangles |
| See 'em dangle in the farm boy’s eyes |
| Hootchie kootchie |
| Auntie Ruthie would’ve cried |
| If she knew we were on the inside |
| When Emmie Mae ran away |
| She came back a bottle blonde |
| God! |
| The gossips had a gourmet feast |
| Chomping on how she was born |
| But miracle of miracles |
| Cuz we were underage |
| She got us nearly front row seats |
| To the right side of the stage |
| See that tall girl? |
| That’s a man |
| That one, too |
| Big yellow feather fan |
| Barkers barking |
| Step right up, folks! |
| The show is about to begin |
| It’s Harlem in Havana time |
| Step right in! |
| Silver spangles |
| See 'em dangle in the farm boy’s eyes |
| Hootchie kootchie |
| Auntie Ruthie would’ve died |
| If she knew we were on the inside |
