  • I'm going uptown to Harlem
    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
    If a taxi won't take me, I'll catch a train
    I'll go underground, I'll get there just the same

    Cause I'm going uptown to Harlem
    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
    125th street, now here I come, y'all
    They're ready for me 'cause I'm coming for fun

    I'm gonna eat me some-a-chicken, and some black-eyed peas
    Somebody barbequed ribs and some collard greens

    I'm gonna party for days in Harlem
    Leave the downtown ways for Harlem

    Cause I'm going uptown to Harlem
    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
    If a taxi won't take me, I'll catch a train
    I'll go underground, I'll get there just the same

    I'm going make it to the Cave and the Shadow Park
    I'm to uptown faces and down to swat
    I'm gonna make it to the Playhouse and the Red Rooster too
    I'll break the jack and wear a suit

    I'm going to have me a party in Harlem
    And that ain't all in Harlem

    I'm gonna eat some chitlin's and some black-eyed peas
    Somebody barbequed ribs and some collard greens

    I said I'm going uptown to Harlem
    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
    I'm going uptown to Harlem
    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
    I'm going uptown to Harlem
    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
    I'm going uptown to Harlem
    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
    I'm going uptown to Harlem
    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
    I'm going uptown to Harlem
    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
    I'm going uptown to Harlem
    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
    I'm going uptown to Harlem
    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
    I'm going uptown to Harlem
    Gonna let my hair down in Harlem Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
