"Harlem Holiday" lyrics
Cab Calloway And His Orchestra Lyrics
"Harlem Holiday"
There'll be bands everywhere, going to town
There'll be planes in the air, flying all around
The browns will be there, laying 'em down
Every day will be a Harlem holiday
No more work, only play, you sleep when you choose
You get paid any way; now tell me, ain't that news?
Every song will be gay, no weary blues
Every day will be a Harlem Holiday
When the whole world's down
And the times look blue
You'll be high up on
Lenox avenue
There'll be gals on the bank, gin will be free
If you don't get a break, don't blame me
Every spot that you got will be hotter than hot
Every day will be a Harlem holiday!

And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know...
Ella Fitzgerald - "When I Get Low I Get High" My fur coat's sold
Oh Lord ain't it cold
But I'm not gonna holler
Cause I've still got a dollar
And when I get low
Oh, I get high
My man walked out
Now you know that ain't right
He better watch out...
Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire - "Minor Stab" Somepeople was an angry thin-skinned man
Couldn't get along with his one man band
Quarter stick rocket and nails in his pocket
And a crying shame Somepeople is his name
Poor Old Pierrot Somepeople...
