Take the "A" Train

You must take the "A" Train

To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem

If you miss the "A" Train

You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem

Hurry, get onboard, it's coming

Listen to those rails a thrumming

Onboard, get on that "A" Train

Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem

You must, you must take that "A" Train

To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem

If you miss the "A" Train

You'll find you missed the quickest way to get to Harlem

Oh

Hurry, get onboard, it's coming

Can't you hear those rails are thrumming

Harlem on that "A" Train

Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem

When I'm in New York City

I go see theater

I love the N-Y t-shirt's say they love me too

Maybe I'll hit the shops on old Fifth Avenue

I'll go sight seeing, I'll go see Miss Liberty

Wicked, Rent and Legally Blonde

Hairspray, those are my favorite plays

New York, start spreading the news

This is where I'm meant to be

Look around, there's so much to see

In New York City

Maybe I'll even take the "A" Train

To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem

Yeah

Hurry, get onboard

Get onboard, it's coming

Can't you hear those rails are thrumming

Harlem on that "A" Train

Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem

Yeah
