Uptown harlem brown
give me a blues
yeah, that's what I'm talking 'bout
fell in love with the harlem blues
even though he was a moulin rouge
hazel eyes seems to be unfair
cajun moon makes me stop and stare

gotta reach up to touch the ground
blaze my box, embrace the sounds
tell me boy where do you dance?
should I run or take the chance?
you're so pretty baby and I know just what to do
harlem blues, harlem blues

lost my mind on a harlem brown
savoir faire, it was a man about town
fine as wine when he puts on the riffs
sets the mood indigo with his lips
I been down that road before
what I say? and furthermore
I had myself a romeo
and I dropped it on him nice and slow

met him down on bourbon street
I guess you know the rest
harlem blues, harlem blues
the way you move give me a harlem blues
the way you light my fuse, what a girl supposed to do?
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh got me all over you
baby it's tried and true
give me a harlem blues

guess who I saw today?
casanova brown
gave me the blues in my left thigh
get on down
get so weak when he kiss you
I'm undone, I got issues
oh and yes did I mention

if he played he'd be kenton?
he's so fine, he's so mellow
in his eyes, greens and yellows
and when he starts and love me
rainy days become sunny
you're so pretty baby and I know just what to do

harlem blues, harlem blues
do you understand my blues?
walk that walk blues
I don't need nobody need to hear
me a harlem, harlem blues
