Emeralds in my bracelets, diamonds in my rings
A Riviera chateau and a lot of other things
But I'm blue, so blue am I
Lots of ready money in several different banks
I counted up this morning, it was 'bout a million francs
But I'm blue, so blue and I know why

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

I've been wined and I've been dined
And I'm headin' for a showdown
'Cause I can't go on from dusk 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"
But my heart keeps chirpin', "Hi-de-ho"

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

~~~♫♫♫ ~~~

And when I'm sitting in my marble tub
Each evening after the show
I get to think 'bout that Cotton Club
And my heart starts chirpin', "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 on my mind
