All Harlem's in a rage And not from blow and gates They've got a new type menace up there He just blew into town He's slim and coffee-brown His trademark is a call that fills the air But Harlemites don't take alarm He really doesn't mean you harm He's only loaded-up with jungle charm No trees about But listen to his shout, whooooa He's the Tarzan of Harlem (he's the Tarzan of Harlem) Big gals and small All answer to his call, whooooa He's the Tarzan of Harlem (he's the Tarzan of Harlem) Instead of swingin' from the trees He swings 'round the old Savoy Romancin' all those chickadees With a "hey" and a "floy-floy-floy!" He just can't miss He kills them with a kiss And if some nights you hear a road And someone's breaking down the door That's just the way to ask for more, whooooa He's the Tarzan of Harlem (he's the Tarzan of Harlem) He just can't miss He kills them with a kiss He's the Tarzan of Harlem
