Now, the thugs are a-thuggin', the
mugs are a-muggin',
There's never a cop in sight!
You can see 'most any old thing,
In Harlem on Saturday night!
Now, the chicks are chickin', the
pickpockets pickin'
When they pick they pick you right,
You can see 'most any old thing,
In Harlem on Saturday night!
Hot spots are never cold!
Piccolos are thumpin'!
No matter where you go,
Every joint is jumpin'!
Now, all the Sugar Hillers are a
bunch of killer-dillers,
I'm tryin' to set you right,
You can see 'most any old thing,
In Harlem on Saturday night!
Hot spots are never cold!
Piccolos are thumpin'!
No matter where you go,
Every joint is jumpin'!
Now, all the Sugar Hillers are a
bunch of killer-dillers,
I'm tryin' to set you right,
You can do 'most any old thing,
On Monday! Tuesday! Wednesday!
Thursday! Friday!
But mostly on Saturday night!
