Lyrics
Ask anyone up Harlem way
Who that guy Bojangles is
They may not know who's president
But just ask them who Bojangles is
He's in the most entrancin' business
It's what they call the dancin' business
When there's a beat, up on the street
Brother, you go and bet all your dough
Sister, you know that ain't no one but Bo
Oh, Bojangles of Harlem
You dance such hot stuff
Young folks love you in Harlem
They say you've got stuff
Tough guys rhumba out of pool rooms
And kids start truckin' out of school rooms
Oh, Bojangles of Harlem
The whole town's at your heels
Leaving their flats, missing their meals
Running like rats going astray
Throw those long legs away
