Uptown

Lyrics

Yeah 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 '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 I'm gonna eat me some chitlins and some black-eyed peas Some barbecued ribs and some collard greens I'm gonna party for days in Harlem Leave the downtown ways for Harlem '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'Il get there just the same 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 I'm going to have me a ball in Harlem And that ain't all in Harlem I'm gonna eat some chitlins and some black-eyed peas Some barbecued ribs and some collard greens I said I'm going uptown to Harlem Gonna let my hair down in Harlem I'm going uptown to Harlem Gonna let my hair down in Harlem I'm going uptown to Harlem Gonna let my hair down in Harlem I'm going uptown to Harlem Gonna let my hair down in Harlem I'm going uptown to Harlem Gonna let my hair down in Harlem I'm going uptown to Harlem Gonna let my hair down in Harlem I'm going uptown to Harlem Gonna let my hair down in Harlem I'm going uptown to Harlem Gonna let my hair down in Harlem I'm going uptown to Harlem Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
