I ain't stopping fingers keep bopping
Swing band rocking from the street to the bar
West Coast's dated music's overrated
Here it on the radio in every car
The heat in Harlem, the heat in Harlem, yep
The heat in Harlem, the heat in Harlem
And the heat of the soul
Ring that number, hear that timbre
Watch my senses go right out the door
Born on the pavement, that's where it happens
Rocking the apartment on the fifteenth floor
The heat in Harlem, the heat in Harlem, yep
The heat in Harlem, the heat in Harlem
And the heat of the soul
And when the heat burns your feet
Got to jump to save your skin
And when you jump the water pump
The water just rushes away in the burning heat
Ooh yep, save your skin, uh
We've been screaming, screaming through a jukebox
Screaming at someone that don't even care
Born on the pavement that's where it happens
Feel like fire in the midnight air
The heat in Harlem, the heat in Harlem, yep
The heat in Harlem, the heat in Harlem
And the heat of the soul
Look at the heat wave got everybody
Got everybody under its spell
Sit back and wonder stand or go under
Or feel the thunder starting to swell
The heat in Harlem, the heat in Harlem
The heat in Harlem punches then rolls
No big decision no air condition
The heat in Harlem is the heat of the soul
Mama is crying Daddy is trying
Brother is working for everything you own
Sister is dreaming, dreaming of Broadway
Around the corner, a million miles from home
The heat in Harlem The heat in Harlem
The heat in Harlem punches then rolls
No big decision no air condition
The heat in Harlem is the heat of the soul
The heat of the soul The heat of the soul
The heat of the soul The heat of the soul
Down in the heatwave, yeah
Down down in the heatwave
Down in the heatwave, yeah
Down in the heat, heat, yeah
Watch the moon come down
In the heat down in Harlem town
Watch it all come down
In the heat down in Harlem town
The heat of the soul, the heat of the soul
Watch it all come down
In the heat down in Harlem town
Watch the moon come down
In the heat down in Harlem town
Down in the heatwave, yeah
Down in the heatwave, yeah
Take it down in the heat heat yeah
The heat of the soul, the heat of the soul
Down in the heat heat, yeah
Down in the heat heat, yeah
The heat of the soul, the heat of the soul
Down in the heat heat, yeah
Down in the heat heat, uh, uh
Down in the heat heat, yeah
