Текст песни Harlem on Parade - Benny Carter , Nico Muhly

In the distance I heard a sound
The sound of marching men
I turned my head to view
The drum boy, the bugle boy and then

Harlem soldiers on the move
See them marching in the groove
Uncle Sam is mighty proud
Of Harlem on parade

With a smile they all perform
In a full drape uniform
Everybody's here to cheer
For Harlem on parade

When you hear the bugle blow
That's the time you're bound to know
That the man behind the horn
Is as handy with a gun
When there's fighting to be done

Every heart within the crowd
Beats it out with head unbowed
Uncle Sam is mighty proud
Of Harlem on parade

When you hear the bugle blow
That's the time you're bound to know
That the man behind the horn
Is as handy with a gun
When there's fighting to be done

Every heart within the crowd
Beats it out with head unbowed
Uncle Sam is mighty proud
Of Harlem on parade
