Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm goin' uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
If a taxi won't take me, I'll catch a train
I'll go underground, I'll get there just the same
[Verse 2]
'Cause I'm goin' uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
125th Street, now here I come, y'all
Get ready for me 'cause I'm comin' for fun
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna eat me some chicken and some black-eyed peas
Some barbecued ribs and some collard green
I'm gonna party for days in Harlem
Leave the downtown ways for Harlem
[Verse 4]
'Cause I'm goin' uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
If a taxi won't take me, I'll catch a train
I'll go underground, I'll get there just the same
[Verse 5]
I'm gonna make it to the Cape and the Shadow bar
I'm goin' up to town places and I'm down to swap
I'm gonna make it to the Playhouse and the red blues-ter too
I'm gonna jack the truce and wear a suit
[Verse 6]
I'm gonna have me a party in Harlem
And that ain' all in Harlem
[Verse 7]
I'm gonna eat me some chicken and some black-eyed peas
Some barbecued ribs and some collard green
[Verse 8]
I said, I'm goin' uptown to Harlem
I'm gonna let me hair down in Harlem
Come on, everybody
I'm goin' uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I'm goin' uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I'm goin' uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I'm goin' uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I'm goin' uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I'm goin' uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I'm goin' uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
