Tarzan of Harlem Songtext
von Cab Calloway

All Harlem′s in a rage
And not from blowing gage
They've got a new type menace
Up there!
He just flew into town
He′s slim and coffee brown
His trademark is the call that fills the air

But Harlemites don't take alarm
He really doesn't mean you harm
He′s only loaded up with jungle charm
No trees about
But listen to him shout
Woooooaahhhh!!!!


He′s the Tarzan of Harlem
(He's the Tarzan of Harlem)
Big yells and small
All answer to his call
Woooooaahhhh!!!!
He′s the Tarzan of Harlem
(He's the Tarzan of Harlem)
Instead of swinging from the trees
He swings round the old Savoy
Romancing all those chickadees
With a hey! and floy-floy-floy

He just can′t miss
He kills 'em with a kiss
And if some nights you hear a roar
And someone′s breaking down a door
That's just the way to ask for more
Woooaaahhhhhh!

He's the Tarzan of Harlem
(He′s the Tarzan of Harlem)

He just can′t miss
He kills 'em with a kiss
(Scat)
He′s the Tarzan of Harlem
