Harlem Hospitality

It's the one and only Lennox Avenue,

That's the one and only place to travel to;

Music in the air,

Dancing everywhere,

That's Harlem hospitality!When you hear a welcome to your song,

You'll keep shoutin' hallelujah all night long;

You never rest

When you get the best

Of Harlem hospitality!It's a waste of life until you hear a song and love it,

You just, "Yeah, man!"

It's a taste of life to shim-sham-shimmy with the "Black and Tan."You don't need to eat an apple every day,

Hi-de-ho will keep the doctor far away,

You can't get ill

When you get the thrill

Of Harlem hospitality!
