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 man
But then he comes Uptown each evening 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 (he can see he's everything)
That he's tall, he don't crawl, he's a king
Downtown
He's just one of a million dimes
He don't get no breaks and he takes all they've got to give
'Cause he's gotta live
But then he comes Uptown
Where he can hold his head up high
Uptown
He knows that I'll be standin' by
And when I take his hand
There's no man that can put him down
The world is sweet
It's at his feet
When he's Uptown
The world is sweet
It's at his feet
When he's Uptown!
