Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every gal struttin' with her beau
Through the streets, covered white with snow
Happy smiles everywhere you go
Christmas night in Harlem
[Verse 2]
People all feelin' mighty good
In that good old neighborhood
Here and now, be it understood
Christmas night in Harlem
[Verse 3]
Oh, everyone is gonna sit up
Until after three
Everyone, we be all lit up
Like a Christmas tree
[Verse 4]
Oh, come on now, every Jane and Joe
Preacher's suite need the mistletoe
With a kiss and hidy ho
Christmas night in Harlem
[Verse 5]
Everyone is gonna sit up
Until after three
Everyone be all lit up
Like a Christmas tree
[Verse 6]
Oh, come on now, every Jane and Joe
A preacher's suite needs the mistletoe
With a kiss and hidy ho
Christmas night in Harlem
[Verse 7]
Oh, what a night in Harlem
[Verse 8]
Oh, come on now, every Jane and Joe
A preacher's suite need the mistletoe
With a kiss and go-go-go
Whoa, in Harlem
