Uptown - Original Broadway Cast/2000
The Brothers D'Armano have a ticklish treat!
A delightful little ditty with a hot new beat
Uptown
Is looking more like
Downtown
Which is looking more like
Uptown
Every day!
Black folks
Are sounding more like
White folks
Who are sounding more like
Black folks
In every way!
Martha Graham and E.B. White
Got wet with Ethel Waters
While Langston Hughes pretends
He's one of Mrs. Astor's daughters!
Ha!
Uptown
Is looking more like
Downtown
Which is looking more like
Uptown
Every day!
The rest of the world
May be lynching and killing
And dying-so what? C'est la vie!
Manhattan's a bubble
Of rejuvinatin' jazzin'
Who cares about the rest of the world?
Not me!
Not me!
Not me!
Uptown!
Downtown!
Uptown!
Downtown!
White folks!
Black folks!
Straight bones!
Queer bones!
Now stop that
High brow!
Low brow!
Bowery!
Broadway!
Uptown
Is looking more like
Downtown
Which is looking more like
Uptown
Every day, yeah!
A delightful little ditty with a hot new beat
Uptown
Is looking more like
Downtown
Which is looking more like
Uptown
Every day!
Black folks
Are sounding more like
White folks
Who are sounding more like
Black folks
In every way!

While Langston Hughes pretends

Every day!
The rest of the world
May be lynching and killing
And dying-so what? C'est la vie!
