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
