[SPORTIN' LIFE]
There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Come with me
That's where we belong, sister
You and me can live that high life in New York
Come with me
There ya can't go wrong, sister
I'll buy ya the swellest mansion
Up on upper Fifth Avenue
And through Harlem we'll go struttin'
We'll go a-struttin'
And there'll be nothin'
Too good for you
I'll dress ya in silks and satins
In the latest Paris styles
And all your blues you'll be forgettin'
You'll be forgettin'
There'll be no frettin'
Just nothin' but smiles
Come along with me, that's the place
Don't be a fool, come along, come along
There's a boat that's leavin' soon for New York
Come with me
That's where we belong
Sister, that's where we belong!
[SPORTIN' LIFE, spoken]
Come on, Bess!
[BESS]
You low crawlin' hound
Get away from my door
I tells you, leave it, you rattlesnake
That's what you is, rattlesnake
[SPORTIN' LIFE]
Don't want a second shot, eh?
All right, I'll leave it here
Maybe you'll change your mind
[SPORTIN' LIFE, spoken]
Yeah, ha ha ha
Come on, baby!
Yeah, ha ha ha ha
Ah ha, yeah
Ha ha ha
Yeah
Ha ha ha
