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



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
