If you want to go to Harlem
Way up to Sugar Hill
Where those dancing feet you read of
Are never, never still
Than you must take the 'A' train
To go to Sugar Hill way up to Harlem
If you miss the 'A' train
You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem
Hurry, get on, now it's coming
Listen to those rails a-thrumming
All aboard, get on the 'A' train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
Yeah! 
 
Hurry, get on, now it's coming
Listen, listen to those rails a-thrumming
All aboard, get on the 'A' train
Eh-choo-choo soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
