Moving Uptown - Original Broadway Cast/2000

Gentlemen

You are looking at a woman who invented 'The Walk'
You know 'The Walk.'
I invented that
You are looking at a female who
Has driven men to homicide
How? Must you ask?
Look at these beautiful legs
These legs were built to drive men mad
Would you like to dance?
But first-
I hear you're moving uptown
I'll move with you
I hear you're taking talent
Talent I do. I do
I've headlined with the best
I can still pack them in
You need help moving uptown!
I know the way cuz I've already been

When you look around the room- look
Tell me what do you see
Imitations of imitations
I invented myself!
I'm a creature who sacrificed love for her art
Why, you may ask
With these smoldering lips
Do you know what it's like to kiss
Such smoldering lips?
Would you like to find out?

But first
I hear you're movin' uptown
Let's go, you lead
I'm ready for the big time
That's what I need, I need
I need to return to the place
Where I used to belong
I hear you're moving uptown

Miss Montoya-
Dolores
Dolores. It's early in the game
Who can tell? There's still lots of details to be worked out
Lots! (Oh, lots)
That's exactly what I feel like
Lot's wife. And she is Sodom and Gomorrah incarnate
Then don't turn around. Don't look back

I hear you're taking me along
I hear you're taking me
You're taking me, you're taking me
Along!
