Dear Marcel I hope this letter finds you well And the folks at home aren't dropping dead of some new plague Yes, it's true! I've traveled off to NYC, America We've known for far too long we couldn't stay forever But now that I am here It's clear to me why people come To this place of brick and stone on the river But if you find you're needing work When Nottingham forgets you If you go to sea To sail and come my way Then I'll see you in Harlem On 116th Street Near the Randolph Square Drop a line or grab a train And I'll see you in Harlem You can stay at my new place See the sights, get a job And it'll be okay And I'll see you in Harlem Found a job putting meat into a can It's not much, but hey! the pay is twice what I had made Got some friends from down the street And at the local Mason's lodge See them at the bar, the beer is never-ending There is a spark of hope An air of better things to come For us workers living for every moment Should you find this sounding like a call from fate or heaven You should go to sea To sail and come my way And I'll see you in Harlem On 116th Street Near the Randolph Square Drop a line or grab a train And I'll see you in Harlem You can stay at my new place See the sights, get a job And it'll be okay And I'll see you in Harlem But don't think that this is pure Nirvana! I'll admit my life is nothing like the life the barons have But I'm free to fail or grow in any way And may God give me the strength to grow, the strength to grow! There is a spark of hope An air of better things to come For us workers living for every moment Should you find this sounding like a call from fate or heaven You should go to sea To sail and come my way I'll see you in Harlem On 116th Street Near the Randolph Square Drop a line or grab a train And I'll see you in Harlem You can stay at my new place See the sights, get a job And it'll be okay And I'll see you in Harlem On 116th Street Near the Randolph Square Drop a line or grab a train And I'll see you in Harlem You can stay at my new place See the sights, get a job And it'll be okay And I'll see you in Harlem On 116th Street Near the Randolph Square Drop a line or grab a train...
