[Verse 1]
[Em]At the far end of the midway
By the double Ferris wheel
There's [D]a band that plays so snakey
You can[E]'t help how you feel
Emmie [Em]Mae ran away
With a man as dark as [A]night
[D]You can see him, [Bm]if you go [D]there
[E]Second trumpet to the [D]right

[Verse 2]
They [D]play "night train"
[E]So [D]snaky
Black girls dancing
[E]Long [D]and lanky
Barkers barking
[E]Step right up, folk[A]s!
The show is about to begin
[G]It's Harlem in Havana time
Step [Em]right [E]in[Em]
Silver spangles
See 'em dangle in the farm boy's
[D]eye[E]s[Em]
Hootchie kootchie
Auntie Ruthie would've cried
If she knew we were on the [A]inside

[Bm]When

[Verse 3]
Emmie [Em]Mae ran away
[D]She [Em]came back a bottle blond
[G]God, [D]the gossips had a gou[Bm]rmet feast
[E]Chomping on how she was born
[Em]But miracle of miracles
'Cause [G]we were underage
She got [D]us nearly front [Bm]row seats[D]
[E]To the right side [D]of the stage
See that tall girl?
[E]That's a man
[D]That one, too
[E]Big yellow feather fan[D]
Barkers barking
[E]Step right up, [A]folks
The show is about to begin
[G]It's Harlem in Havana [Em]time
[G]Step rig[D]ht in[E]
[Em]Silver spangles
See 'em dangle [A]in [Em]the farm boy's
[G]eye[D]s[E][Em]
Hootchie kootchie
Auntie Ruthie would've died

[Outro 1]
If she knew we were on the inside
