Where do we get that music that puts that swing so hot in us? Where is life, never dull, hum-drum or monotonous? Hop a subway, hop a cab, Shoot right up to Harlem Where the population Found a new sensation.
Screen celebs and stage satellites, Social debs and High hat-ellites, Masses, classes, Doin' the Uptown Lowdown. Where they spend their semolians Just to watch those Creolians Skippin', hippin', Doin' the Uptown Lowdown.
You'll find laughter afer midnight, That's their play-time. Hi-de-hay time! What price, Yeah, man!
Bankers with their Cinderellatives, List'ning to those hot hi-yellatives, Up in Harlem, Doin' the Uptown Lowdown!
