Track byDuke Ellington
You must take the "A" train To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem If you miss the "A" train You'll find you've missed the quickest way to Harlem Hurry, get up now, it's coming Listen to those rails a'hummin' All board, get on the "A" train Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem You must take the "A" train To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem If you miss the "A" train You'll find you've missed the quickest way to Harlem Hurry, get up now, it's coming Listen to those rails a'hummin' All board, get on the "A" train Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem She gets hungry for dinner at eight She gets to hungry for dinner at eight She likes the theater and never comes late I never bother with people I hate That's why the lady is a tramp doesn't like crap games with barons and earls Won't go to Harlem, in ermines and pearls Won't dish out dirt, with the rest of the girls That's why the lady is a tramp I like the free, fresh wind in my hair Life without care, I'm broke, it's oke Hate California, it's cold and damp That's why the lady is That's why the lady is That's why the lady is a tramp
