| She saw me walking down the streets of your fine city
|
| It kinda turned me on when she looked at me and said, «C'mere»
|
| Now I don’t usually talk to strangers but she looked so pretty
|
| What can I lose if I, uh, just give her a little ear?
|
| «What's up little girl? |
| I ain’t got time to play.»
|
| Baby didn’t say too much; |
| she said, «Are you gay?»
|
| Kinda took me by suprise, I didn’t know what to do
|
| I just looked her in her eyes and I said, «No, are u?»
|
| Said to myself, said
|
| «She's just a crazy, crazy, crazy little mixed up dame
|
| She’s just a victim of society and all it’s games.»
|
| Now where I come from, we don’t let society
|
| Tell us how it’s supposed to be
|
| Our clothes, our hair, we don’t care
|
| It’s all about being there
|
| Everybody’s going Uptown; |
| that’s where I wanna be
|
| Uptown, set your mind free
|
| Uptown, got my body hot
|
| Get down, I don’t wanna stop, no
|
| As soon as we got therebgood times were rolling
|
| White, Black, Puerto Rican
|
| Everybody just a-freakin'
|
| Good times were rolling
|
| She started dancing in the streets
|
| Ow, girl, she’s just gone mad
|
| U know, she even made love to me
|
| Ooh, best night I ever had
|
| Ah yeah
|
| I never talk to strangers but this time it’s all right
|
| See, she got me hot, ah, I couldn’t stop, ah
|
| Good times were rolling all night, all night, yeah
|
| Now where I come from we don’t give a damn
|
| We do whatever we please
|
| It ain’t about no downtown, nowhere bound, narrow-minded drag
|

| It’s where I wanna be
|
| Uptown, can set your mind free, yeah
