"On My Way To Harlem"
(jazz music) I found out On my way to Harlem Ellington You don't live 'round here He moved away one day So they say, away from Harlem I can hear His echo Still Somebody say you can't Keep me away From where I was born I was baptized by my daddy's horn Baby You can't keep my away from where I was born I was raised up by the sweet sound Of the jazz man's horn Hey, I found out on my way through Harlem Langston Hughes He don't live 'round here Heard he moved away one day From his mighty way here in Harlem Don't you know Marvin Gaye used to play right here You can't keep me away From where I was born I was baptized by my daddy's horn Hey You cant keep me away From where I was born I was raised up by the sweet sound Of the jazz man's horn (trumpet solo) (trumpet solo) (trumpet solo) (trumpet solo) I found out on my way Through Harlem Ellington, he don't live 'round here Heard he moved away one day From his mighty way in Harlem I can hear his echo loud and clear Hey, you can't keep me away from where I was born I was baptized by my daddy's horn Hey You can't keep me away From where I was born I was raised up by the sweet sound Of the jazz man's horn Hey, I found out on my way through Harlem Langston Hughes He don't live 'round here Heard he moved away one day From his mighty way here in Harlem Don't you know, Marvin Gaye used to play right here You can't keep me away From where I was born I was baptized by my daddy's horn Hey, hey You can't keep me away From where I was born I was raised up by the sweet sound Of the jazz man's horn (scat) I sure could use Some of those blues From Langston Hughes And some folks say that Marvin Gaye used to play What's going on What's going on Right over there, I swear Hey There goes that A train Hey There goes that A train (music fades)
