Duke Ellington - Drop me off in harlem

Tekst :

Drop me off in Harlem,
any place in Harlem,
There s someone waiting there
who makes it seem like
Heaven up in Harlem.

I don t want your Dixie,
you can keep your Dixie,
there s no one down in Dixie who can take me
way from my hot Harlem,

Harlem has those southern skies,
they re in my baby s smile, I
idolize my baby s eyes and
classy up-town style,

If Harlem moved to China,
I know of nothing finer,
Than to stow away on a plane some day and have them
drop me off in Harlem.

drop me off in Harlem.

If Harlem moved to China
I know nothing finer than to be in Harlem

  • I let a song go out of my heart
  • Lost in meditation
  • My little brown book
  • Bli-blip
  • In a sentimental mood
  • Everything but you
  • Rocks in my bed
  • In a mellow tone
  • All too soon
  • Love you Madly
  • Satin doll
  • Prelude to a kiss
  • Sophisticated lady
  • Solitude

    Amazing flight

    There is danger ahead. But do not be afraid. For I am with you like breath itself. Darkness
    will lead to light - colour will bleed into the night. Beautiful colours, the like of which you
    have never seen. Let the dream of confusion lead you into the...

    Block und bleistift

    Trifft mein Stift auf Papier feiern alter Freunde Wiedersehen
    und wenn es dunkel wird, hörst Du sie leise erzählen.
    Wenn die beiden sich zuprosten,
    tauschen sie zu vorgerückter Stunde Anekdoten aus
    und lauschen Fußnoten:
    „Hast Du den Buntstift gesehen?
    Der war ja Spitz wie Nachbars Lumpi,
    und der hat nicht mal ‘nen Radierer,
    Du, der machts es ohne...

    The castle hall

    At last! you enter the Electric Castle! Here in this vast hall where even shadows fear the
    light - here you must confront your past. If you have killed, beware of the Gathering of Spirits
    for they do fish for men. Here, the disembodied Astral World becomes flesh...

    Finally

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    Wake up and I m feelin right
    Hop outta bed and I grab a bite
    Break up a fatty and roll it tight

    Bound & tied

    Tongue-tied, restless, and wanting
    Looks like you might bite, you might bite
    Breathing in, breathing out,
    you re weakened
    The poison s hit your mind, your mind.
    Time s ticking and its got ya thinking ,
    You re happy with your life, your life...
