The Jews: 
     Groceries
     Suits
     Fruits
     Watches
     Diamond rings
     THE DAILY NEWS
Jews sell me things. 
Yom Kippur, no!
Shops all over Harlem
close up tight that night.

Some folks blame high prices on the Jews. 
(Some folks blame too much on Jews.) 
But in Harlem they don't answer back, 
Just maybe shrug their shoulders, 
"What's the use?"
What's the use
in Harlem?
What's the use? 
What's the Harlem 
use in Harlem 
what's the lick?

Hey!
Baba-re-bop!
Mop!
On a be-bop kick!

Sometimes I think 
Jews must have heard 
the music of a 
dream deferred.
