The Apollo King Dion

[Verse 1]
Went down to Harlem
Friday night with the boys
Down to the Apollo
Lookin’ to hear some noise
Some brown-eyed beauty
Sold us the nighttime joy
First through the front door
When the lights went down
I heard a backbeat
Rattle me toward the ground
Rhythm gettin’ ready
Sax’d and jaxed this town

[Pre-Chorus]
Then Big Al Sears come
Walkin’ out on the stage
[?] man like they opened up the cage
Wild and steady
Rockin’ the righteous phrase

[Chorus]
Hey, Big Al Sears
Hey, Big Al Sears
Hey, Big Al Sears
Hey, a Big Al Sears
Whoa, moanin’, groanin’
Rockin’ the righteous phrase
