Underneath the Harlem Moon |
Creole babies walk along |
Rhythm in their thighs |
Rhythm in their hips and in their lips and in their eyes |
Where do highbrows find |
The kind of love that satisfies? |
Underneath the Harlem moon |
They don’t pick no cotton |
Picking cotton is taboo |
They don’t live in cabins |
Like the old folks used to do |
Their cabin is a penthouse |
Up on Lennox Avenue |
Underneath the Harlem moon |
They just live for dancing |
They’re never blue or forlorn |
Ain’t no sin |
To laugh or grin |
That’s why darkies were born |
They shout «Hallelujah!» |
every time they’re feeling low |
And every sheik is dressed up like a Georgia gigolo |
You may call it madness, but I call it hi-de-ho |
Underneath the Harlem moon |
