DROP ME OFF IN HARLEM - Duke Ellington & Ella Fitzgerald (1957) + Lyrics

I wanted my first upload for 2013 to be something relaxed, so I decided it had to be some classic jazz tune. I hope you’ll enjoy this musical collaboration of Duke and Ella as much as I do. LYRICS: Drop me off in Harlem Any place in Harlem There’s someone waiting there Who makes it seem like Heaven up in Harlem I don’t want your Dixie You can keep your Dixie There’s no one down in Dixie Who can take me ’way from my hot Harlem Harlem has those southern skies They’re in my baby’s smile I idolize my baby’s eyes And classy up-town style If Harlem moved to China I know of nothing finer Than to stow away on a ’plane some day And have them drop me off in Harlem Harlem has those southern skies They’re in my baby’s smile I idolize my baby’s eyes And classy up-town style If Harlem moved to China I know of nothing finer Than to stow away on a ’plane some day And have them drop me off in Harlem If Harlem moved to China I know nothing finer than to be in Harlem
