Lyrics
0:01He gets up each morning and he goes downtown
0:07Where everyone's his boss and he's lost in an angry land
0:16He's a little man
0:21But then he comes uptown each ev'nin' to my tenement
0:27Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent
0:31And when he's there with me he can see that he's everything
0:39Then he's tall he don't crawl he's a king
0:49Downtown he's just one of a million guys
0:53He don't get no breaks and he takes all they got to give
1:00'Cause he's got to live
1:04But then he comes uptown where he can hold his head up high
1:10Uptown he knows that I am standing by
1:14And when I take his hand there's no man who could put him down
1:23The world is sweet it's at his feet when he's uptown
1:30Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
1:34Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
1:39Whoa oh whoa oh oh
1:43Let me tell ya now
1:45Uptown where he can hold his head up high
1:49Uptown he knows that I be standing by
1:53And when I take his hand there's no man who could put him down
2:01The world is sweet it's at his feet when he's uptown
2:09Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
2:13Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
2:17Let me tell ya now uptown
2:22Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
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 ev'nin' 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 Then he's tall he don't crawl he's a king Downtown he's just one of a million guys He don't get no breaks and he takes all they got to give 'Cause he's got to live But then he comes uptown where he can hold his head up high Uptown he knows that I am standing by And when I take his hand there's no man who could put him down The world is sweet it's at his feet when he's uptown Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Whoa oh whoa oh oh Let me tell ya now Uptown where he can hold his head up high Uptown he knows that I be standing by And when I take his hand there's no man who could put him down The world is sweet it's at his feet when he's uptown Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Let me tell ya now uptown Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
