Lyrics

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've missed the quickest way to Harlem
Hurry, get up now, it's coming
Listen to those rails a'hummin'
All board, get on the "A" train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
Sa veef a deef
Leet doveef an'dassan
Deepandassan day
Doia dey'tn day
Veef sa'va veva dabbadey
Dada deutn'datn deitn deu doo
Hurry, get up now, it's coming
Listen to those rails a'hummin'
All board, get on the "A" train
Soon you will be in Sugar Hill in Harlem
"A" train, "A" train, "A" train
