Harlem On My Mind
Berlin Irving As Thousands Cheer (1933) Harlem On My Mind Em'ralds in my bracelets and diamonds in my rings A Riviera chateau and a lot of other things And I'm blue, so blue am I Lots of ready money in seven diff'rent banks I counted up this morning, it's about a million francs And I'm blue, so blue, and I know why
I've got Harlem on my mind I've a longing to be lowdown And my 'parlez-vous' will not ring true With Harlem on my mind
I've been wined and I've been dined Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But I'm heading for a showdown 'Cause I can't go on from night to dawn With Harlem on my mind
I go to supper with a French Marquis Each evening after the show My lips begin to whisper 'Mon Cheri' But my heart keeps singing 'Hi-de-ho'
I've become too darn refined And at night I hate to go down To the high-falutin' flat that Lady Mendel designed With Harlem on my mind
