Joni Mitchell Harlem in Havana At the far end of the midway
by the double ferris wheel There's a band that plays so snakey You can't help how you feel Emmie Mae ran away With a man as dark as night You can see him, if you go there
Second trumpet to the right
They play Night Train So snakey
Black girls dancing Mitchell Joni Long and lanky
Barkers barking
Step right up, folks!
The show is about to begin
It's Harlem in Havana time Step right in!
Silver spangles See 'em dangle in the farm boy's eyes
Hootchie kootchie Auntie Ruthie would've cried
If she knew we were on the inside.
When Emmie Mae ran away She came back a bottle blonde God! The gossips had a gourmet feast
miracle But of miracles Cuz we were underage She got us nearly front row seats To the right side of the stage
See that tall girl?
That's a man
That one, too
Big yellow feather fan
Barkers barking
Step right up, folks!
The show is about to begin
It's Harlem in Havana time
Step right in!
Silver spangles 'em See dangle in the farm boy's eyes
Hootchie kootchie Auntie Ruthie would've died
If she knew we were on the inside.
