| Downtown is where it’s at, I don’t doubt that
|
| But today I can do without I’m getting sick of the slums
|
| I’m tired of dodging the bums
|
| And all the freaks are freaking me out
|
| Today we ruin the roach, today we conquer the crab
|
| Today we bring the bedbug down
|
| Watch me, baby, hail a taxi cab
|
| You and me are going uptown
|
| Well, let’s go fly a kite in Central Park
|
| Go and see a Shakespeare play
|
| Have a lot of fun at the planetarium
|
| And museum all the blues away
|
| Well, Rockefeller Center and the UN too
|
| Baby don’t make me wait
|
| I want to elevate up and down with you
|
| In the building of the Empire State
|
| Well, we’ll eat dinner at your favorite Schrafft’s
|
| Somebody gonna shine my shoes
|
| Then we’ll pop into Playland for pinball laughs
|
| And read the Allied Chemical News
|
| Le’s go to Radio City Music Hall
|
| To catch the Rockettes of renown
|
| Then we get to The Garden for some basketball
|
| Or a fight for the heavyweight crown
|
| That’s right, a change of pace is good for a change
|
| It’s a wonder all the goodness it gives
|
| Life is, oh, so sweet above Fourteenth Street
|
| Let’s go see how the other half lives
|
| Today we ruin the roach, today we conquer the crab
|
| Today we bring the bedbug down
|
| Watch me, baby, hail a taxi cab
|
| You and me are going uptown |
