The Crystals - Uptown lyrics
Uptown The Crystals Written by Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann Peaked at # 13 in 1962 Produced by Phil Spector. One of Spector's first major hits to use castanets as a percussion effect. According to legend, this song was originally given to Tony Orlando, who turned it down only to watch it become a Top 15 hit by The Crystals. 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-yeah Let me tell ya now 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 Let me tell ya now, uptown FADE Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh |
