Harlem Holiday - Original - Cab Calloway and His Orchestra

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!
