Harlem On Parade Lyrics - Selected Sides 1941-1962 - Anita O'day

In the distance I heard a sound, 

The sound of marching men; 

I turned my head to view 

The drum boy, the bugle boy, and then; 

 

Harlem soldiers on the move, 

See them marching in the groove, 

Uncle Sam is mighty proud 

Of Harlem on parade. 

 

With a smile they all perform 

In a full drape uniform; 

Everybody's here to cheer 

For Harlem on parade. 

 

When you hear the bugle blow, 

That's the time you're bound to know 

That the man behind the horn 

Is as handy with a gun 

When there's fighting to be done! 

 

Every heart within the crowd 

Beats it out with head unbowed, 

Uncle Sam is mighty proud 

Of Harlem on parade. 

 

When you hear the bugle blow, 

That's the time you're bound to know 

That the man behind the horn 

Is as handy with a gun 

When there's fighting to be done! 

 

Every heart within the crowd 

Beats it out with head unbowed, 

Uncle Sam is mighty proud 

Of Harlem on parade.
