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
|
|
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
|

Downtown Came Uptown
