| [00:09.54] |
A dog barking at the crack of dawn |
| [00:13.80] |
A baby's crying 'cause his mama's gone |
| [00:18.01] |
I toss and turn and then I stretch and yawn |
| [00:21.69] |
Another morning, another day |
| [00:26.04] |
In the heart of Harlem |
| [00:29.52] |
|
| [00:34.94] |
I feel the tenement coming alive |
| [00:39.02] |
Another working day I've gotta survive |
| [00:43.16] |
Fighting the foreman from 8:30 till 5 |
| [00:46.87] |
To make a dollar so I can live |
| [00:50.25] |
In the heart of Harlem |
| [00:54.65] |
|
| [00:57.97] |
I pitch and kick and |
| [00:59.44] |
Get my feelings hurt downtown |
| [01:06.12] |
I'm just a little spoke |
| [01:08.44] |
That helps the wheel go round |
| [01:11.91] |
|
| [01:14.56] |
If I was rich, maybe I'd move away |
| [01:18.67] |
Out to the country where my kids could play |
| [01:22.88] |
But I can't make it on my poor man's pay |
| [01:26.39] |
We gotta stay here, can't get away |
| [01:30.45] |
Get away from Harlem |
| [01:35.12] |
|
| [02:10.74] |
If I was rich, maybe I'd move away |
| [02:14.63] |
Out to the country where my kids could play |
| [02:18.76] |
But I can't make it on my poor man's pay |
| [02:22.34] |
We gotta stay here, can't get away |
| [02:26.35] |
Get away from Harlem |
| [02:30.02] |
|
| [02:32.98] |
Deep, deep in the heart of Harlem |
| [02:40.78] |
So deep, so deep, so deep |
| [02:44.23] |
In the heart of Harlem |
| [02:46.13] |
|
| [02:47.86] |
