"Harlem Hospitality" lyrics

Cab Calloway And His Orchestra Lyrics

"Harlem Hospitality"

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 rest
When you get the best
Of 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 ill
When you get the thrill
Of Harlem hospitality!
