Uptown Babies
See the little lad, selling kisko?
Shouting, "Kisko pops, kisko pops
Kisko pops, kisko pops"
See the little lad, selling Star?
Shouting, "Star news, read the news
Read the news, read the news"
He is doing it you see
To help his mummy pay the fee
For little junior to go to school
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
They have mummy and daddy
Lot's of toys to play with
Nanny and granny
Lots of friends to stay with
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
They have mummy and daddy
Lot's of toys to play with
Nanny and granny
Lot's of friends to stay with
Hear that little baby crying?
Yes she's crying, she's crying
She's crying because she's hungry
You can hear her mama saying
"It ain't easy, ain't easy
Ain't easy when you're poor, you see"
And speaking of life in the ghetto
Where survival is the motto
And putting it to you:
Poverty is a sin
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
They have mummy and daddy
Lot's of toys to play with
Nanny and granny
Lot's of friends to stay with
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
They have mummy and daddy
Lot's of toys to play with
Nanny and granny
Lot's of friends to stay with
Uptown babies don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
(Mummy and daddy)
They don't know what suffering is like
(Mummy and daddy)
Uptown babies don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
(Mummy and daddy)
They don't know what suffering is like
Shouting, "Kisko pops, kisko pops
Kisko pops, kisko pops"
See the little lad, selling Star?
Shouting, "Star news, read the news
Read the news, read the news"
He is doing it you see
To help his mummy pay the fee
For little junior to go to school
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
They have mummy and daddy
Lot's of toys to play with
Nanny and granny
Lots of friends to stay with
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
They have mummy and daddy
Lot's of toys to play with
Nanny and granny
Lot's of friends to stay with
Hear that little baby crying?
Yes she's crying, she's crying
She's crying because she's hungry
You can hear her mama saying

Ain't easy when you're poor, you see"

And putting it to you:

Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
They have mummy and daddy
Lot's of toys to play with

Lot's of friends to stay with
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
They have mummy and daddy
Lot's of toys to play with
Nanny and granny
Lot's of friends to stay with
Uptown babies don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
(Mummy and daddy)
They don't know what suffering is like
(Mummy and daddy)
Uptown babies don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
(Mummy and daddy)
They don't know what suffering is like
