Harlem Desire

New York, can take your life

"big apple" makes you pay the price

Walk down the avenue

Might as well be on the moon

There's trouble in the dark

Look out!

The trail of the shark

In New York, yeah, yeah

Oh, look out!

They know all the tricks

Look out!

Better make it quick

You hear them laughing right behind you:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Just one night of peaceful sleep

And no more fighting in the streets, yeah

In: ha ha ha ha Harlem!

In: ha ha ha ha Harlem!

In: ha ha ha ha Harlem!

Candy's kinda neat

But "sugar-hill" is bitter sweet

'cause Harlem road's a oneway-street

In New York, yeah, yeah
