Every girl struttin' with her beau
Through the streets covered white with snow
Happy smiles everywhere you go
It's Christmas night in Harlem

People all feelin' mighty good
In that good ol' neighbourhood
Here and now be it understood
Christmas night in Harlem

Oh, everyone is gonna sit up
Until after three
Everyone will all be lit up
Like a Christmas tree

Oh, come on now, every Jane and Joe
Greet you sweet 'neath the mistletoe
With a kiss and a Hi-De-Ho
Christmas night in Harlem

Everyone is gonna sit up
Until after three
Everyone will be all lit up
Like a Christmas tree

Come on now, every Jane and Joe
I greet you sweet 'neath the mistletoe
With a kiss and a Hi-De-Ho
Christmas night in Harlem

Oh, what a night in Harlem
Oh, come on now, every Jane and Joe
I greet you sweet 'neath the mistletoe
With a kiss and a go, go, go
We're in Harlem
