I'm going 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
Cus I'm going up...town to Harlem    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem

125th street, now here I come, y'all   They're ready for me 'cus I'm coming for fun
I'm gonna eat me some- a- chicken, and some black- eyed peas    Some barbequed ribs and some collard greens
I'm gonna party for days in Harlem    Leave the downtown ways for Harlem

Cus I'm going up...town 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
I'm going make it to the Cave and the Shadow Park?    I'm to uptown faces and down to swat?
I'm gonna make it to the play,  I'll stand red- goosed too?  I'll break jack the truce and wear a suit?
I'm going to have me a pole? in Harlem   And that ain't all in Harlem
I'm gonna eat some chitlin's and some black- eyed peas    Somebody barbequed ribs and some collard greens
