1:00Ask anyone up Harlem way
1:04Who that guy Bojangles is
1:08They may not know who's president
1:12But ask them who Bojangles is
1:16He's in the most entrancing business
1:18It's what they call the dancing business
1:20When there's a beat
1:21Up on the street
1:22Brother you go and bet all your dough
1:25Sister you know
1:25That aingt no one but Bo
1:28Oh Bojangles of Harlem
1:33You dance such hot stuff
1:36Young folks love you in Harlem
1:40They say you've got stuff
1:44Tough guys rumba out of poolrooms
1:49And kids start trucking out of schoolrooms
1:53Oh Bojangles of Harlem
1:56The whole town's at your heels
1:59Leaving their flats
2:01Missing their meals
2:03Running like rats
2:05Going astray
2:07Throw those long legs away
Ask anyone up Harlem way Who that guy Bojangles is They may not know who's president But ask them who Bojangles is He's in the most entrancing business It's what they call the dancing business When there's a beat Up on the street Brother you go and bet all your dough Sister you know That aingt no one but Bo Oh Bojangles of Harlem You dance such hot stuff Young folks love you in Harlem They say you've got stuff Tough guys rumba out of poolrooms And kids start trucking out of schoolrooms Oh Bojangles of Harlem The whole town's at your heels Leaving their flats Missing their meals Running like rats Going astray Throw those long legs away
