DOWNTOWN CAME UPTOWN
I used to wear jeans
I'm in italian slacks
I had long shaggy hair
It's cut short and slicked back
I drank three dollar wine
Now it's cocktails at two
Because downtown came uptown for you
I used to think that coke came in a bottle or can
Silk underwear
Wasn't right on a man
Hush puppies and sneakers
Now it's alligator shoes
Because downtown came uptown for you
Hush puppies and sneakers
Now it's alligator shoes
Because downtown came uptown for you
Well you told me that you love me
And said I could be your man
Ah but then you said
I had no more style than a rat in a garbage can
So you took me uptown
You made your driver wait
Taught me how to eat snails
And caviar on a plate
No more sittin' in the alley
With the boys drinkin' blues
Because downtown came uptown for you
BRIDGE
Well you told me that you love me
And said I could be your man
Ah but then you said I had no more style
Than a rat in a garbage can
My manicures at five
French lesson at six
Oh don't tell me you can't
Teach a dog new tricks
I'm going out on the town
My friends are spreadin' the news
Because downtown came uptown for you
I said downtown came uptown for you
Darlin' downtown came up town for you
