Uptown Lyrics - The Loco-motion - Little Eva

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 

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
