Lyrics for Take The "A" Train

You must take the "A" train To go 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 'board get on the "A" train Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
