Nick Lowe - Heat In Harlem lyrics

I ain't stopping fingers keep bopping Swing band rocking from the street to the bar West coast's dated music's overrated Here it on the radio in every car Chorus The heat in harlem the heat in harlem, yep The heat in harlem the heat in harlem And the heat of the soul Ring that number hear that timbre Watch my senses go right out the door Born on the pavement that's where it happens Rocking the apartment on the fifteenth floor Chorus Bridge And when the heat burns your feet, got to jump to save your skin And when you jump the water pump The water just rushes away in the burning heat Ooh yep, save your skin, uuh We've been screaming, screaming through a jukebox Screaming at someone that don't even care Born on the pavement that's where it happens Feel like fire in the midnight air Chorus twice Look at the heat wave got everybody, got everybody under it's spell Sit back and wonder stand or go under, or feel the thunder starting to swell The heat in harlem, the heat in harlem the heat in harlem punches then rolls No big decision no aircondition the heat in harlem is the heat of the soul Mamma is crying daddy is trying brother is working for everything you own Sister is dreaming, dreaming of broadway around the corner a million miles from home The heat in harlem the heat in harlem the heat in harlem punches then rolls No big decision no aircondition the heat in harlem is the heat of the soul The heat of the soul the heat of the soul the heat of the soul the heat of the soul Down in the heatwave, yeah down down in the heatwave down in the heatwave, yeah Down in the heat, heat, yeah watch the moon come down in the heat down in harlem town Watch it all come down in the heat down in harlem town The heat of the soul the heat of the soul Watch it all come down in the heat down in harlem town Watch the moon come down in the heat down in harlem town Down in the heatwave, yeah down in the heatwave, yeah Take it down in the heat heat yeah the heat of the soul The heat of the soul
