Take the 'A' Train
Billy Strayhorn
You must take the "A" train
To go to Sugar Hill, way up in Harlem
If you miss the "A" train
You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem
Hurry, hurry, get on, now it's comin', it's comin'
Oh, listen to those rails a-thrumming
All aboard, get on the "A" train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
You must take the "A" train
To go, to go to Sugar Hill, way up in Harlem
If you, if you miss the "A" train
You'll find you miss the quickest way to get to Harlem
But you got to hurry, hurry get on now, it's comin', it's comin'
Listen to those rails a-thrumming
All aboard, get on the "A" train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
Oh Sugar Hill in Harlem
