Summer night in Harlem
Man, it's really hot
Well, it's too hot to sleep
I'm too broke to eat
I don't care if I die or not
Winter night in Harlem
Oh, radiator won't get hot

Hey, hey, everything's alright
You can really swing
And shake your pretty thing

Now everybody's all dressed up
Ah, the hip folks gettin' home from the party
And the good folks, they just got up

To send the preacher to the Holy Land
Hey, hey, Lord, honey
Don't you give your money
To that lyin', cheatin' man
