The Movin' Uptown Blues - Original Broadway Cast/2000

What do you remember?
I remember walking through the front door
And saying, "Great party"
And the next thing I know
Ich stehe in mein gatkas
Und mein tookas stecht und dreussen
And I can't find my pants

Can't find my shoes
Ain't seein' straight
Don't know the time, but I think it's too late
Don't know how I got here
Don't know where I am

Forgot my name
Must be the booze
If I had to name what I feel right now
I'd call it
The movin' uptown blues

We did too much, too soon
So what?
Everybody does
The city's full of guys like us
Forgetting who they was

I think I ran a deli once
I think I had a wife
Walked in that door tonight
And wham, I'm living someone else's life

Don't got a past
Don't got a name
Can't go back to from wherever I came
Whole room spinnin' crazy
Someone make it stop

A promise made in the throes of passion
Is a promise that can never be broken
Violate that promise, and terrible things can happen
Hell hath no fury as a woman performer legend scorned

I need my pants
I need my shoes
Tomorrow we'll be sober men
And jewel-less Jews

Gold and Golden?
Gold and Golden
Tonight we're lost in
The movin' uptown blues
