Take the "A" Train - Oscar Pettiford, His Cello and Quartet, Duke Ellington

You must take the A train

To go sugar hill 'way up in Harlem

If you miss the A train

You’ll find you’ve missed the quickest way to Harlem

Hurry, get on now it’s coming

Listen to those rails a thrumming

All 'board get on the A train

Soon you will be on sugar hill in Harlem
