Uptown

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
