Christmas Night In Harlem

Christmas Night In Harlem - Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra/Johnny Mercer/Jack Teagarden

Hallelujah glory halle hallelujah

What's all that noise

Hallelujah

Don't give up with that

Who's that over in the corner

I believe that's mr teagarden

What you doing' up there man

Last time i saw you

You were sayin' fare thee well to harlem

I done bin wise g'wine

An' i ain't g'wine there n'more

You sho' come back the right time

It's christmas up here

What d'ya mean up here

It's christmas ev'rywhere

Yeah but it ain't all christmas

Like it's christmas in harlem

Ev'ry gal struttin' with her beau

Through the streets covered white with snow

Happy smiles er'ywhere you go

Christmas night in harlem

Black and tans feelin' mighty good

In that old colored neighborhood

Here and now be it understood

Christmas night in harlem

Ev'ryone is gonna sit up

Until after three

Ev'ryone will be all lit up

Like a christmas tree

Come on now ev'ry coal black joe

You just lead me t'the mistletoe

With a kiss and a hi de ho

Christmas night in harlem

Hee man dog

What'd santa claus leave in your stockin'

Let me see there's an orange a jar kick

And man look at this trombone

Yeah but it might not sound so pretty

Let me hear you tune it

Mr mercer i'm glad to be back in this festivity

Ah you said it mr t

It's christmas night in harlem

Well it's christmas night in harlem

Man you drew the difficult
