Take The 'A' Train [German translation]

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 missed the quickest way to Harlem

Hurry - get on now it's coming

Listen - to these rails a-humming -

All board get on the "A"-Train

Soon You will be on sugar hill in Harlem

You take your baby to Harlem

You're bound to find a hole

Up on Sugar Hill

Where everyone's having a solid ball

You board that "A" train and then

You ride till you dig this number

One forty five street where all the cats meet

Posing on stroll, bopsters really in there

Bararurap baradurure

That's the riff that the bands all play

It's groovy the hepcats say

Then you know that you're in Harlem

You got to get off that "A" train

And you will have a thrill, yeah

If you're looking for rhythm

You'll find it on Sugar Hill

Now that you know just how to get up

Just dig up a nickel and you've got your fare

If you want to go to happy Harlem

You take the "A" train that goes uptown and ride ride ride

Wait until you get on Sugar Hill

You jump for joy till you get your fill

Have you got your nickel in your hand?

Then hurry don't you miss that train, oh man

You must take the "A" train

To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem

Better hurry get aboard the train
