At the far end of the midway
by the double ferris wheel
There's a band that plays so snakey
Emmie Mae ran away
You can't help how you feel
They play "Night Train"
With a man as dark as night
You can see him, if you go there
Second trumpet to the right So snakey
Black girls dancing
Barkers barking
Step right up, folks!
Long and lanky
The show is about to begin
It's Harlem in Havana time
Step right in!
See 'em dangle in the farm boy's eyes
Silver spangles Hootchie kootchie
Auntie Ruthie would've cried If she knew we were on the inside. She came back a bottle blonde
When Emmie Mae ran away
God! The gossips had a gourmet feast
Chomping on how she was born
But miracle of miracles
Cuz we were underage
She got us nearly front row seats
See that tall girl?
To the right side of the stage
That's a man
Big yellow feather fan
That one, too Barkers barking
Step right up, folks!
The show is about to begin
It's Harlem in Havana time
Silver spangles Step right in!
See 'em dangle in the farm boy's eyes
Auntie Ruthie would've died Hootchie kootchie
If she knew we were on the inside.
