Bojangles of Harlem [From "Swing Time"] - Fred Astaire, Johnny Green And His Orchestra

Ask anyone up Harlem way

Who that guy Bojangles is

They may not know who’s President

But ask 'em who Bojangles is

He’s in the most entrancin' business

It’s what they call the «dancin' business»

When there’s a beat, up on the street

Brother, you go and bet all your dough

Sister, you know that ain’t no one but «Bo.»

Oh!

Bojangles of Harlem, you dance such hot stuff

Young folks love you in Harlem, they say you’ve got stuff

Tough guys rumba out of poolrooms

And kids start truckin' out of schoolrooms

Oh!

Bojangles of Harlem, the whole town’s at your heels

Leaving their flats, missing their meals

Running like rats, going astray

Throw those long legs away
