Uptown |
| 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 tenement |
| Uptown where folks don’t have to pay much rent |
| And when he’s there with me he can see that he’s everything |
| Then he’s 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 |
| Uptown he knows that I am standing by |
| And when I take his hand, there’s no man who could put him down |
| The world is sweet, it’s at his feet, when he’s uptown |
| Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh |
| Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah |
| Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, yeah |
| Let me tell ya now |
| Uptown where he can hold his head up high |
| Uptown he knows that I am standing by |
| And when I take his hand, there’s no man who could put him down |
| The world is sweet, it’s at his feet, when he’s uptown |
| Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh |
| Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah |
| Let me tell ya now, uptown |
| Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh |
