Hurry, hurry, hurry
Take the a-train
To find the quickest way to get to harlem

If you should take the a-train
You’ll find you get right where you goin’
If you hurry

Hurry, hurry, hurry
Night’s coming
Can’t you hear the rails a-humming

If you should take the a-train
You’ll find to get away
… with a hurry

If you should take the a-train
You’ll find you get right where you goin’
If you hurry

Hurry, hurry, hurry
Night’s coming
Can’t you hear the rails a-humming
