"I've Been to Harlem"
also known as
"Turn the Glasses Over"
I've been to Harlem, I've been to Dover,
I've travelled this wide world all over.
Over, over, three times over.
Drink what you got to drink and turn the glasses over.
Sailing east, sailing west,
Sailing over the ocean,
You better watch out when the boat begins to rock,
Or you'll lose yourself girl in the ocean.
