There's a party in Harlem, come on
  
  I like to reminisce about that night we kissed
  It was somewhere one night in Harlem
  The nights were hot and bright
  You could treat your honey right
  Cuz Sylvia's would burn all night
  
  The people there were really something
  (You know that's right)
  The music always kept us jumping
  And it used to knock me down
  When Smokey came to town
  (And the miracles, please)
  My favorite song was "Tears Of A Clown", oh yeah
  
  There ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem
  They really shake the funk up there
  Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
  And I'm gonna take my baby back
  To the heart of Harlem
  
  Big sister had a group
  And they'd sit out on the stoop
  And Lordy could they harmonize (Oh yeah)
  My cousin Joe could blow
  Just like the radio
  And he used to drove them "B" girls wild
  
  But when grandma started happy dancing
  (Oh, she gon' break somethin')
  She really turned the mother out
  I like the way they do it up in Harlem
  When there's a party up in Harlem
  That's what it's all about
  
  Ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem
  They never fake the funk up there
  I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem
  And tonight I'm gonna take her back to the 'pollo
  
  There's a party in Harlem
  They say that all the stars will be there
  Everyone is going to Harlem
  Harlem is a party and everybody's going there
  
  [Precise]
  Follow me visually, cuz I usually be all around
  Originallly everybody headed uptown
  Finessing the fly way you crisin in your car
  On the West Side to the highway, East Side D-R
  And yes, we are about to set it
  Forget it, I thought you knew
  The Apollo is where I had to go with my crew
  From BMW's to my daddy's Cadillac
  He had the sunroof top wit the diamond in the back
  Check the ambiance, the place a renaissance
  Who frontin' nonchallant up in the restaurant
  What you really really want, we grabbin by the clutch
  Precise can flaunt with this and never too much
  It's such a love flow, high but natural
  The thug's a no-show, and drugs a no-no
  The only thing that they was shootin' was pool
  While Harlem nights was right, the party was cool
  
  Nothing like them nights in Harlem
  They really shake the funk up there
  Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
  I'm gonna take my baby back to the heart of Harlem
  
  Nights in Harlem
  They never fake the funk up there
  I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem
  Back to the Harlem Apollo
  
  Nights in Harlem
  They don't let you fake the funk up there
  Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
  I'm gonna take my honey
  Back to the Harlem Apollow
  
  Nights in Harlem
  They really shake the funk up there
  Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
  I'm gonna take my baby
  Back to the Harlem Apollo
