If you wanna see 'em truckin'
as it should be done,
If you mean it when you say,
you wanna have some fun,
I'm inviting all of you,
Take a trip to Lennox Avenue.
If you really wanna see
a bit of all night life,
Bring your honey or your Secretary
or your wife,
Then just forget and let yourself go
Why be shy or slow.

Oh the rhythm's O.K. in Harlem
and the melodies hot,
Yes, the rhythm's O.K. in Harlem
'Cos what it takes they've got
Oh the rhythm's O.K. in Harlem
If you wanna go gay
Yes, Oh the rhythm's O.K. in Harlem
'cos Harlem's built that way.
High yellows, dark brown fellas,
Truckin' with their light o' loves
Sight seeers go to stare,
Society has its breakfast there,
Oh the rhythm's O.K. in Harlem
an' they swing it along
Yes, the rhythm's O.K. in Harlem
'cos rhythm's Harlem's song.

Oh the rhythm's O.K. in Harlem
and the melodies hot,
Yes, the rhythm's O.K. in Harlem
'Cos what it takes they've got
Oh the rhythm's O.K. in Harlem
If you wanna go gay
Yes, Oh the rhythm's O.K. in Harlem
'cos Harlem's built that way.
High yellows, dark brown fellas,
Truckin' with their light o' loves
Sight seeers go to stare,
Society has its breakfast there,
Oh the rhythm's O.K. in Harlem
an' they swing it along
Yes, the rhythm's O.K. in Harlem
'cos rhythm's Harlem's song.
