Harlem on My Mind

[00:09.20] Emeralds in my bracelets, diamonds in my rings
[00:12.81] A Riviera chateau and a lot of other things
[00:16.52] And I'm blue, so blue am I
[00:24.62] Lots of ready money in seven different banks
[00:29.10] I counted up this morning, it was 'bout a million francs
[00:31.89] And I'm blue, so blue and I know why
[00:39.96] I've got Harlem on my mind
[00:46.26] And I'm longin' to be lowdown
[00:52.64] And my, 'Parlez-vous' will not ring true
[00:58.01] With Harlem on my mind
[01:02.57] I've been dined and I've been wined
[01:08.81] But I'm headin' for a showdown
[01:13.32] 'Cause I can't go on from night to dawn
[01:18.74] With Harlem on my mind
[01:25.04] I go to supper with a French Marquis
[01:29.61] Each evening after the show
[01:34.15] My lips begin to whisper, "Mon Cheri"
[01:39.58] But my heart keeps singin', "Hi-de-ho"
[01:44.03] I've become too damned refined
[01:49.46] And at night, I hate to go down
[01:54.95] To that high-falutin' flat that Lady Mendel designed
[02:00.39] With Harlem on my mind
[02:04.82] I've got Harlem on my mind
[02:11.16] And I'm longing to be lowdown
[02:16.57] And my, 'Parlez-vous' will not ring true
[02:21.05] With Harlem on my mind
[02:25.66] I've been dined and I've been wined
[02:31.00] But sure as your born, I'm headin' for a showdown
[02:35.57] 'Cause I can't go on from night to dawn
[02:41.83] With Harlem on my mind
[02:46.30] And when I'm bathing in my marble tub
[02:51.77] Each evening after the show
[02:56.25] I get to thinkin' 'bout that Cotton Club
[03:00.72] And my heart starts chirpin', "Hi-de-ho", help me
[03:07.10] I've been too damned refined
[03:10.75] And at night, I hate to go down
[03:14.31] To that flat with fifty million Frenchmen taggin' behind
[03:20.67] With Harlem on my mind
[03:25.11]
