[Verse 1]
A7
Summer night in Harlem, man it's really hot!

Well it's too hot to sleep and too hot to eat

I don't care if I die or not!
[Verse 2]

Winter night in Harlem, oh oh radiator won't get hot
        Bb7
And that mean ole landlord

He don't care if I freeze to death or not!
[Verse 3]

Sunday morning here in Harlem, now every body's all dressed up

The heathen folk just getting home from the party
       C7
And the good folk just got up
   C7
Our crooked delegation wants a donation
           C7
To send the preacher to the holy land

Hey hey lord, honey don't give your money to that lying, cheating man
[Verse 5]

Sunday morning here in Harlem, now every body's all dressed up
   D7
The heathen folk just getting home from the party

And the good folk just got up

Our crooked delegation wants a donation
           D7
To send the preacher to the holy land
       D7
Hey hey lord, honey don't give your money to that lying, cheating man
