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 on now, it's coming
Listen to those rails a-thrumming
All aboard, get on the A train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
You, you must take the A train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
You must take the A train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
If you miss the A train
You've missed the quickest way to Harlem
Hurry, get on board, it's coming
Listen to those rails a-thrumming
All aboard, get on the A train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
All aboard
Next stop is Harlem
Next stop Harlem
Come on, get aboard the A train
Get aboard
Next stop is Harlem, take the A train
