Lyrics Take The A Train - Live - Ella Fitzgerald

From the pen of the great Duke Ellington, ladies and gentlemen
We never get tired of doing anything from the genius

You must take the A train
If you really wanna go to Harlem
Come on and take the A train
You'll find the quickest way, quickest way to get to Harlem
Hurry, hurry, boy, it's coming
Can't you hear those engines strumming
Come on and get the A train
You'll find the quickest way
Quickest way to get to Harlem

I know these people don't know what I'm singing

Say you must take the A train
If you will link up to the way to Harlem
Come on, come on, take the A train to Harlem
Hurry, can't you hear it coming?
Won't you come get on board this train that's going to Harlem
You must take the A train, if you really want to go to Harlem

Drop me off in Harlem
Drop me off in Harlem

My sweet Harlem
I love New York
I love New York
That's why I'm gonna take a train, gotta take a train
I wanna take a train, I gotta take a train
Gonna take a train
Take the A train
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, let's go

Thank you
That's a Jimmy Rose arrangement

Thank you
Thank you so much
