Lyrics
1939 - Billy Strayhorn / Joya Sherrill / Lee Gaines You must take the "A" train To go to 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 board, it's coming Listen to those rails a-thrumming All aboard, get on that "A" train Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
