Uptown / Dont' Say Nothin' Bad (About My Baby) / Da Doo Run Run |
He gets up each morning and he goes downtown |
Where everyone’s his boss, |
And he’s lost in an angry land. |
He’s a little man. |
But then he comes uptown |
Each evening to my tentament. |
Uptown where folks don’t have to pay much rent. |
And when he’s there with me |
He can see that he’s everything. |
The man is tall, he don’t crawl. |
He’s a king. |
Downtown he’s just one of a million guys. |
He don’t get no breaks, |
And he takes all they got to give |
'cause he’s got to live. |
But then he comes uptown |
Where he can hold his head up high. |
And uptown he knows I’m gonna be standing by. |
And when I take his hand, |
There’s no man who can put him down, down, down. |
Oh, the world’s so sweet at his feet when he’s uptown. |
Whoa-oo-oh-whoa. |
When he’s uptown. |
Whoa-oo-whoa-oo-whoa-oh-oh. |
Don’t say nothin' bad about my baby. |
Don’t say nothin' bad about my baby. |
Don’t say nothin' bad about my baby. |
Don’t say nothin' bad about my baby. |
Don’t say nothin' bad about my baby. |
Don’t say nothin' bad about my baby. |
Don’t say nothin' bad about my baby. |
Don’t! |
Met him on a monday and my heart stood still. |
Da doo run run run da doo run run. |
Somebody told me that his name was Bill. |
Da doo run run run da doo run run. |
Whoa, my heart stood still. |
Yeah, his name was Bill. |
And when he walked me home, |
Da doo run run run da doo run run. |
He knew what he was doin' when he caught my eye. |
Da doo run run run da doo run run. |
He looked kind of quiet. |
My, oh my. |
Da doo run run run da doo run run. |
Oh, he caught my eye. |
My, my, my, my, oh my. |
And when he walked me home, |
Da doo run run run da doo run run. |
Here we go! |
Da doo run run run da doo run run. |
Da doo run run run da doo run run. |
Da doo run run run da doo run run. |
Da do run run, hey! |
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run. |
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run. |
Run-a-run-a-run, run-a-run-a-run. |
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run. |
Run-a-run-a-run, run-a-run-a-run. |
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run |
