[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]
