Medley: Harlem / Cold Baloney
Summer night in Harlem man it's really hot
Well it's too hot to sleep
And I'm too cold to eat
I don't care if I die or not
Winter night in Harlem
Radiator won't get hot
Eh, the mean old landlord
He don't care if I freeze to death or not
Ah but, saturday night in Harlem
Oh now, everything's alright
Really swing and shake your pretty thing
Yeah, the party's out of sight
Sunday morning in Harlem
Everybody's all dressed up
Oh now, heathen folks
Getting home oh from the party
And the good folks just got up
Crooked delegation wants a big donation
Send some old jive preacher to the holy land
Lord honey, don't you give your money
To that lying cheating man
Oh now, saturday night in Harlem
Everything's alright
Huh now, shake your thing
And shing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Ding ding now every party's out of sight
Sunday morning in Harlem
Everybody's all dressed up
Heathen folks comin' home uh
Huh from the party
And the church folks just got up
Crooked delegation wants a big fat donation
Send some old jive preacher to the holy land
Lord honey, don't you give your money
To that lying cheating man
Harlem, uh huh uh uh harlem, uh huh uh uh

Harlem, I want to to take you back to
Cold baloney and I'm home all by myself
Just 5 years old but I sure am cold
My mom's out cooking steak for someone else
Sure am sleepy but I'mma wait till mama come
Eh, the rich folks don't eat
Up all that good meat, uh huh

Mayonnaise and bread
If it wasn't for cold baloney by now
Don't y'all
Don't y'all know I would've been dead

Harlem, uh huh uh uh harlem, oh oh oh
Poor mama she sure is tired
She said "what you eatin' son?"
"I believe that baloney sandwich, oh
Looks good
Would you please fix your mama one?"
I wanna take you back
Saturday night, night in Harlem
Everything, everything's alright
Shake your thing
And shing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Yeah the party's out of sight
We want to say good night but we wish you
All would sing a little with us first
Show you what to sing
"A little red light"
Ya'll say "shake'em on down"
I say "little green light"
Ya'll say "shake'em on down"
I say "a little red light"
Ya'll say "shake'em on down"
We all say "must I holl'a"
"must I shake'em on down"
Come on, y'all
Hey, a little red light (Shake'em on down)
A little green light, oh (Shake'em on down)
Huh, a little red light, nah nah nah
(Shake'em on down) hey now, must I holl'a
Must I shake'em on down
Come on, y'all, let me hear you
Hey, a little red light (Shake'em on down)
A little green light, oh (Shake'em on down)
Huh, a little red light (Shake'em on down)
Hey now, must I holl'a
Must I shake'em on down
Hold it, hold it, hold it easy
Our bass player Melvin who I
Told you was very quiet
Now Melvin likes to shake'em on down, but
He can't stand too much noise
So so I can get along with
Melvin the rest of the week
I wish ya'll would just do a little
Soft shake'em on down for Melvin
And you can tell when you've got it right
Watch him 'Cause when it's right
He sings
Oh, a little red light (Shake'em on down)
A little green light, oh (Shake'em on down)
Hey, a little red light, no no
(Shake'em on down) hey now, must I holl'a
Must I shake'em on down
Wait a minute
We didn't get it, look at him, this time
Oh, a little red light, lord lord
(Shake'em on down) a little green light, oh
(Shake'em on down) a little red light, no no
(Shake'em on down) now, must I holl'a
Must I shake'em on down
James like his loud!
Hey, a little red light (Shake'em on down)
Hey, a little green light (Shake'em on down)
Hey, a little red light (Shake'em on down)
Hey now, must I holl'a

A little red light (Shake'em on down)
A little green light (Shake'em on down)
A little red light (Shake'em on down)
Hey now, must I holl'a
Must I shake'em on down
Hold it i'm always leaving folks
After I get them singing
I'd like to leave ya'll singing
How'bout the folks in the row
Here by the wall
Ya'll got the "red light" with me
Rest of ya'll got the "shake'em on down"
Come on y'all
A little red light (Shake'em on down)
A little green light (Shake'em on down)
A little red light (Shake'em on down)
Must I holl'a must I shake'em on down
Hold it, y'all hold it
Now we realize this is New York
And ya'll are sophisticated, but
It's not "must I holler"
This is a showing of "shake'em on down"
It's "must I holl'a"
"Must I shake'em on down" come on ya'll
