He gets up each morning and he goes downtown |
| [00:06.41] |
Where everyone's his boss and he's lost in an angry land |
| [00:13.97] |
He's a little man |
| [00:17.47] |
But then he comes uptown each ev'nin' to my tenement |
| [00:22.91] |
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent |
| [00:27.53] |
And when he's there with me he can see that he's everything |
| [00:35.85] |
Then he's tall, he don't crawl, he's a king |
| [00:45.03] |
Downtown he's just one of a million guys |
| [00:48.85] |
He don't get no breaks and he takes all they got to give |
| [00:52.66] |
'cause he's got to live |
| [01:00.53] |
But then he comes uptown where he can hold his head up high |
| [01:05.85] |
Uptown he knows that I am standing by |
| [01:10.04] |
And when I take his hand there's no man who could put him down |
| [01:18.41] |
The world is sweet, it's at his feet when he's uptown |
| [01:26.04] |
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh |
| [01:30.35] |
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah |
| [01:34.29] |
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh-yeah |
| [01:39.04] |
Let me tell ya now |
| [01:40.92] |
Uptown where he can hold his head up high |
| [01:44.35] |
Uptown he knows that I am standing by |
| [01:48.35] |
And when I take his hand there's no man who could put him down |
| [01:57.22] |
The world is sweet, it's at his feet, when he's uptown |
| [02:04.73] |
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh |
| [02:08.20] |
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah |

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh |
