Drop Me off in Harlem
Harlem's Allure: A Musical Journey into Southern Skies and Uptown Elegance
Lyrics
Drop me off in Harlem,
Expressing a desire to be dropped off in Harlem.
Any place in Harlem,
Emphasizing any location within Harlem as acceptable.
There's someone waiting there
Indicating the presence of someone eagerly waiting in Harlem.
Who makes it seem like
Describing the person in Harlem who makes it feel like paradise.
Heaven up in Harlem.
Portraying Harlem as a heavenly place.
I don't want your Dixie,
Rejecting the offer of Dixie, emphasizing a preference for Harlem.
You can keep your Dixie,
Reiterating the rejection of Dixie and expressing the attachment to Harlem.
There's no one down in Dixie who can take me
Asserting that no one in Dixie can replace the connection to Harlem.
'Way from my hot Harlem.
Declaring a strong commitment to Harlem over Dixie.
Harlem has those southern skies,
Highlighting the beauty of the southern skies in Harlem.
They're in my baby's smile,
Connecting the southern skies to the joy expressed in the baby's smile.
I idolize my baby's eyes and
Expressing admiration for the baby's eyes.
Classy up-town style.
Appreciating the sophisticated and elegant style of uptown Harlem.
If Harlem moved to China,
Imagining Harlem in a distant place and expressing its superiority.
I know of nothing finer,
Stating that nothing is finer than Harlem moving to China.
Than to stow away on a plane, some day and have them
Desiring to travel to Harlem on a plane someday.
Drop me off in Harlem.
Reiterating the desire to be dropped off in Harlem.
Harlem has those southern skies,
Repeating the praise for the southern skies in Harlem.
They're in my baby's smile,
Reiterating the connection between the southern skies and the baby's smile.
I idolize my baby's eyes and
Reaffirming admiration for the baby's eyes.
Classy up-town style.
Emphasizing the classy and sophisticated style of uptown Harlem.
If Harlem moved to China,
Repeating the idea of Harlem being superior, even if it moved to China.
I know of nothing finer,
Reiterating the belief that nothing is finer than Harlem in China.
Than to stow away on a plane, some day and have them
Expressing a desire to travel to Harlem on a plane someday.
Drop me off in Harlem.
Reiterating the desire to be dropped off in Harlem.
If Harlem moved to China
Reiterating the sentiment that nothing is finer than Harlem in China.
I know nothing finer than to be in Harlem
Affirming the unparalleled appeal of being in Harlem.
