Lyrics
once we were republicans but now we re democrats
Why be blue and forlorn, we just thrive on dancing
That s why we schwaters were born, we just live for dancing, once we were barefoot now we re sporting shoes and specs
And every sheik is dressed up like a georgia gigolo, nicholas avenue Moon, ain t no sin to laugh and grin
Underneath the harlem moon, once we wore bandanas
White folks call it madness but i call it hi-de-ho, where the highbrows find the kind of love that satisfies, once we wore bandanas
We re rearing to go underneath the harlem moon, now we wear perusian heads Rhiannon, once we were republicans but now we re democrats
now we wear perusian heads
Why be blue and forlorn, no traffic wind, we re never blue or forlorn
then we re ready to step out and take charge on any so and so don t stop for law
we re never blue or forlorn
We don t pick no cotton picking cotton is taboo, underneath the harlem moon, cause if we hit
Underneath the harlem moon, cause if we hit
underneath the harlem moon
all we pick is numbers and that include you white folks too
Hallelujah every time we re feeling low, hallelujah every time we re feeling low, creole babies walk along with rhythm in their thighs
we don t live in cabins like the old folks used to do our cabin is a penthouse up on st
Underneath the harlem moon, we don t pick no cotton picking cotton is taboo
And every sheik is dressed up like a georgia gigolo, once we were barefoot now we re sporting shoes and specs Moon, once we were barefoot now we re sporting shoes and specs
Underneath the harlem moon, nicholas avenue, once we wore bandanas
White folks call it madness but i call it hi-de-ho, now we wear perusian heads
Creole babies walk along with rhythm in their thighs, we also drink our gin up on rita s when we re feeling low
ain t no sin to laugh and grin
We don t live in cabins like the old folks used to do our cabin is a penthouse up on st, once we wore bandanas
cause if we hit
We just laugh and grin, let the landlord in that s why house rent party s were born
Now we wear perusian heads, white folks call it madness but i call it hi-de-ho
We just thrive on dancing, underneath the harlem moon
we re never blue or forlorn
underneath the harlem moon
We also drink our gin up on rita s when we re feeling low, now we wear perusian heads
underneath the harlem moon
once we wore bandanas
then we re ready to step out and take charge on any so and so don t stop for law
let the landlord in that s why house rent party s were born
Then we re ready to step out and take charge on any so and so don t stop for law, that s why we schwaters were born, we pay our rent on any avenue
We re never blue or forlorn, where the highbrows find the kind of love that satisfies
underneath the harlem moon
Underneath the harlem moon, once we were barefoot now we re sporting shoes and specs Underneath, once we were barefoot now we re sporting shoes and specs
we don t pick no cotton picking cotton is taboo
let the landlord in that s why house rent party s were born
Underneath the harlem moon, once we wore bandanas
we re rearing to go underneath the harlem moon
once we were barefoot now we re sporting shoes and specs
Creole babies walk along with rhythm in their thighs, rhythm in their hips and in their lips and in their eyes
creole babies walk along with rhythm in their thighs
Underneath the harlem moon, we also drink our gin up on rita s when we re feeling low Rhiannon, we re rearing to go underneath the harlem moon
Once we were republicans but now we re democrats, once we wore bandanas
we don t pick no cotton picking cotton is taboo
we re rearing to go underneath the harlem moon
Creole babies walk along with rhythm in their thighs, underneath the harlem moon the, we re rearing to go underneath the harlem moon
cause if we hit
