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 mad But then he comes uptown each evenin` 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`ll be 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 Yeah yeah yeah Let me tell ya now Uptown where he can hold his head up high Uptown he knows that I`ll be 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 Yeah yeah yeah Let me tell ya now Uptown whoa
