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 restWhen you get the bestOf 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 illWhen you get the thrillOf Harlem hospitality!
