(Johnny) What's all that noise?

(Jack) Glory Halle...
(Johnny) Who's that over in the corner?
(Jack) Hallelujah!
(Johnny) I believe that's Mr. Teagarden.
Hey what you doin' up there, Man?
Last time I saw you

(Jack) I done bin wise g'wine

(Johnny)
You sho' come back the right time

(Jack) No?
(Sung)
(Johnny) Ev'ry gal struttin' with her beau
Through the streets covered white with snow
Happy smiles er'ywhere you go
Christmas night in Harlem
(Jack) Black and tans feelin' mighty good
In that old coloured neighbourhood
Here and now be it understood

(Johnny) Ev'ryone is gonna sit up
Until after three
Ev'ryone will be all lit up
Like a Christmas tree
(Jack) Come on now ev'ry coal black Joe
You just lead me t'the mistletoe
With a kiss and a hi-de-ho
Christmas night in Harlem

(Jack)
Well it's Christmas night in Harlem
Man, you drew the ???
