It was up at Mike's the other night
那晚在迈克的地盘上
There was really quite a sight
场面真是热闹非凡
Gather round folks
大伙儿围过来
While I give you all the lowdown
听我细细道来
Tables were filled
桌边坐满了
With gaudy frails
花枝招展的姑娘们
Chewing on their fingernails;
紧张地咬着指甲
They were waiting
她们都在等待
For the man from Harlem
为那哈莱姆来的男人
Drinks were
酒水
Served six bits a throw
每杯七角五分
Things were moving kind of slow
气氛渐渐升温
Everybody's
每个人的
Nerves were getting jumpy
神经开始紧绷
All at once the room was still
突然间全场寂静
Men forgot all about their bill
人们忘却了所有账单
Who should enter but the man from Harlem
只见哈莱姆来的男人翩然而至
Everybody rolled their eyes
众人皆屏息凝神
Women starting heaving sighs

Someone hollered "Music lights and gin "

Everybody cleared a space

They had big
每个人脸上都绽放着
Broad smiles on every face

Loved to see the man from Harlem

When he started in to step

He filled everyone with plenty pep
全场都被他的活力点燃
He twitched and squirmed;
他扭动摇摆
It just was a dirty shame
那画面令人惊叹
Everyone was in a daze
所有人都如痴如醉
Women watched him with amaze

Each one said she'd

Have the man from Harlem

He looked over in the corner

And saw a couple of frails

And they sure did look kinda low

Get high and forget about everything "
