Emeralds in my bracelets, diamonds in my rings
A Riviera chateau and a lot of other things
And I'm blue, so blue am I

I've got Harlem on my mind
And I'm longin' to be lowdown
And my, 'Parlez-vous' will not ring true
With Harlem on my mind

I've been dined and I've been wined
But I'm headin' for a showdown
And I can't go on from night to dawn
With Harlem on my mind

I go to supper with a French Marquis
Each evening after the show
My lips begin to whisper, "Mon Cheri"
And my heart starts singin', "Hi-de-ho"

I've become so damned refined
And at night, I hate to go down
To that high-falutin' flat that Lady Mendel designed
With Harlem on my mind

~~~♫♫♫ ~~~

And when I'm bathing in my marble tub
Each evening after the show
I get to thinkin' 'bout that Cotton Club
And my heart starts singin', "Hi-de-ho"

I've been too damned refined
And at night, I hate to go down
To that flat with fifty million Frenchmen taggin' behind
With Harlem
Harlem on my mind
