Lyrics:

It's the one and only Lennox Avenue
That's the one and only place to travel to;
Music in the air
Dancing everywhere
That's Harlem hospitality!
When you hear a welcome to your song
You'll keep shoutin' hallelujah all night long;
You never rest
When you get the best
Of Harlem hospitality!
It's a waste of life until you hear a song and love it
You just, 'Yeah, man!'
It's a taste of life to shim-sham-shimmy with the 'Black and Tan.'
You don't need to eat an apple every day
Hi-de-ho will keep the doctor far away
You can't get ill
When you get the thrill
Of Harlem hospitality!
