Underneath The Harlem Moon

Paroles
Creole babies walk along with rhythm in their thighs Rhythm in their hips and in their lips and in their eyes Where the [highbrows?] find the kind of love that satisfies Underneath the Harlem moon We don't pick no cotton; picking cotton is taboo We don't live in cabins like the old folks used to do Our cabin is a penthouse up on St. Nicholas Avenue Underneath that Harlem moon We just live for dancing We're never blue or forlorn Ain't no sin to laugh and grin That's why we schwarzes were born We shout, "Hallelujah!" every time we're feeling low And every sheik is dressed up like a Georgia gigolo White folks call it madness but I call it hi-de-ho Underneath that Harlem moon Once we wore bandanas, now we wear Parisian hats Once we were barefoot, now we're sporting shoes and specs Once we were Republicans but now we're Democrats Underneath the Harlem moon We don't pick no cotton; picking cotton is taboo All we pick is numbers and that include you white folks too 'Cause if we hit, we pay our rent on any avenue Underneath the Harlem moon We just thrive on dancing Why be blue and forlorn We just laugh and grin, ha! Let the landlord in That's why house rent parties were born We also drink our gin, smoke our reefer, when we're feeling low Then we're ready to step out and take charge of any so-and-so Don't stop for law, no traffic, when we're raring to go Underneath the Harlem moon Underneath the Harlem moon
