HOLIDAY IN HARLEM
Chick Webb / Reed   1937

Ella Fitzgerald w Chick Webb & his Orch   
rec Oct 27th 1937 New York



Music music everywhere,
Happiness is in the air,
Not a soul has got a care,
Holiday in Harlem.

Up and down the avenue,
you see faces old and new
With a smile that welcomes you
'Cause it's holiday in Harlem.

Sophisticated ladies,
Dizzy, dumb and wise,
My oh my, when they get high,
There's danger in their eyes!

Not a soul is feelin' blue
Up and down the avenue,
With a smile that welcomes you,
Holiday in Harlem.

Sophisticated ladies,
Dizzy, dumb and wise,
My oh my, when they get high,
There's danger in their eyes!

Not a soul is feelin' blue
Up and down the avenue,
With a smile that welcomes you,
'Cause it's holiday in Harlem.
