The Adventures of the Empress of Harlem and the Amazing Subway Boy (Album Version)

The Adventures of the Empress of Harlem and the Amazing Subway Boy - Joe Firstman

Baby leave the dishes 'til the morning

While accepting my apologies

See I've been busy chasing my tail around

While you've been busy chasing me

But I bought a costume

And I will wear it for you

I've learned a dance routine

From a dirty magazine

Come and dance with me

Sweet city girl

You can be the empress of harlem

And I'll be your subway boy

Sweet city girl

You can be the empress of harlem

And I'll be your subway boy

Baby save your troubles

'Til tomorrow

Drink away your worries

I know a thousand stories

We can fall asleep again

Considering the love we're in

And the love we'll make

As soon as I'm awake

As soon as I'm awake

There is a tightrope

I've been walking for you

And I'll swing a mean trapeze

Bring the crowd to it's knees

Let me show you

I will show you

Sweet city girl

You can be the empress of harlem

And I'll be your subway boy

Sweet city girl

You can be the empress of harlem

And I'll be your subway boy

Sweet city girl

You can be the empress of harlem

And I'll be your subway boy

Sweet city girl

You can be the empress of harlem

And I'll be your subway boy

Swing set lover you're a playground

Come and jump on my trampoline
