Time)
Ask anyone up Harlem way
Who that guy Bojangles is
They may not know whoâs President
But ask âem who Bojangles is.
Heâs in the most entrancinâ business
Itâs what they call the âdancinâ businessâ
When thereâs a beat, up on the street
Brother, you go and bet all your dough
Sister, you know that ainât no one but âBo.â
Oh! Bojangles of Harlem, you dance such hot stuff
Young folks love you in Harlem, they say youâve got stuff
Tough guys rumba out of poolrooms
And kids start truckinâ out of schoolrooms
Oh! Bojangles of Harlem, the whole townâs at your heels
Leaving their flats, missing their meals
Running like rats, going astray
Throw those long legs away.
