Uptown Downtown

from Rogue Escapades (album) by Phil Gammage

lyrics

Uptown, downtown, all around

Yeah I work and slave all day just to bring home some dough
When the moneys all been spent I need just a little bit more
But when the sun goes down I feel set free
It brings out the night crawler in me

Uptown, downtown, all around

I go to my wardrobe and get dressed up in my threads
Then in front of the mirror slick up the hair on head
When I walk out the door I’m feeling fine
I’m looking sharp in some mighty fine vines

Uptown, downtown, all around

My first stop is a joint called “Charlies” it’s my favorite place to go
Then a drink at the “Five Spot” maybe a couple of more
I’m steppin’ out to do a little dancing
And if I’m lucky a little romancing

Uptown, downtown, all around

I’m in love with the city, I feel it’s energy flow through my veins
You can keep your country living for me it’s just not the same
I’m steppin’ out to do a little dancing
And if I’m lucky a little romancing

Uptown, downtown, all around
