There's a party in Harlem
come on
<Interlude>
I like to reminisce
about that night we kissed
It was somewhere
one night in Harlem
The nights were hot and bright
You could treat your honey right
Cuz Sylvia's would
burn all night
The people there
were really something
You know that's right
The music always
kept us jumping
And it used to knock me down
When Smokey came to town
And the miracles, please
My favorite song was
Tears Of A Clown, oh yeah
There ain't nothing like
them nights in Harlem
They really shake
the funk up there
Tonight I'm gonna
stomp in Harlem
And I'm gonna take my baby back
To the heart of Harlem
Big sister had a group
And they'd sit out on the stoop
And Lordy could
they harmonize Oh yeah
My cousin Joe could blow
Just like the radio
And he used to drove
them B girls wild
But when grandma
started happy dancing
Oh, she gon' break somethin'
She really turned the mother out
I like the way they do
it up in Harlem
When there's a party
up in Harlem
That's what it's all about
Ain't nothing like them
nights in Harlem
They never fake
the funk up there
I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem
And tonight I'm gonna
take her back to the 'pollo
There's a party in Harlem
They say that all the
stars will be there
Everyone is going to Harlem
Harlem is a party
and everybody's going there
Follow me visually
cuz I usually be all around
Originallly everybody
headed uptown
Finessing the fly way
you crisin in your car
On the West Side to
the highway, East Side D-R
And yes, we are about to set it
Forget it, I thought you knew
The Apollo is where
I had to go with my crew
From BMW's to
my daddy's Cadillac
He had the sunroof top
wit the diamond in the back
Check the ambiance
the place a renaissance
Who frontin' nonchallant up
in the restaurant
What you really really want
we grabbin by the clutch
Precise can flaunt with
this and never too much
It's such a love flow
high but natural
The thug's a no show
and drugs a no no
The only thing that they
was shootin' was pool
While Harlem nights was right
the party was cool
Nothing like them
nights in Harlem
They really shake
the funk up there
Tonight I'm gonna
stomp in Harlem
I'm gonna take my baby back
to the heart of Harlem
Nights in Harlem
They never fake
the funk up there
I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem
Tonight I'm gonna take heart
Back to the Harlem Apollow
Nights in Harlem Let'go
They don't let you
fake the funk up there
Tonight I'm gonna
stomp in Harlem
I'm gonna take my Harlem
Back to the Harlem Apollow
Nights in Harlem
They really shake
the funk up there
Tonight I'm gonna
stomp in Harlem
I'm gonna take my baby
Back to the Harlem Apollo
e the time and get it right
