Uptown |
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 |
