Skid Row (downtown) Lyrics - Singles - Little Shop Of Horrors

Alarm goes off at seven 

and you start up-town. 

You put in your eight hours 

for the powers 

that have always been. 

(Sing it child) 

'Til it's five-pm... 

"Then you go..." 

Downtown 

Where the folks are broke. You go 

Downtown 

Where your life's a joke. You go 

Downtown 

Where you buy a token. You go... 

Home to Skid Row."Yes you go..."

Downtown 

Where the cabs don't stop. 

Downtown 

Where the food is slop. 

Downtown 

Where the hop-heads flop in the snow... 

Down on Skid Row.Uptown you cater to a million jerks. 

Uptown you're messengers and mailroom clerks. 

Eating all your lunches at the hot-dog carts. 

The bosses take your money and they break your hearts. 

Uptown you cater to a million whores. 

You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors. 

Morning's tribulation, afternoon's a curse 

And five o'clock is even worse 

"That's when you go..."

Audrey: Where the guys are drips. 

(Downtown) 

Audrey: Where they rip your slips. 

(Downtown) 

Audrey: Where relationships are no go. 

Down on Skid Row. Poor, all my life I've always been poor. 

I keep askin' God what I'm for. 

And he tells me, "Gee, I'm not sure." 

"Sweep that floor, kid!" 

Oh! I started life as an orphan, 

A child of the street, here on Skid 

Row! He took me in gave me shelter 

A bed, crust of bread and a job. 

Treats me like dirt, calls me a slob, 

Which I am... 

So I live 

(Downtown) 

Seymour: That's your home address, you live 

(Downtown) 

Seymour: When your life's a mess, you live 

(Downtown) 

Seymour: Where depression's just status quo. 

(Down on Skid Row.) 

Seymour: Someone show me a way to get outta here. 

'Cause I constantly pray I'll get outta here. 

Please won't somebody say I'll get outta here. 

Someone gimmie my shot, or I'll rot here! 

(Downtown) 

Show me how and I will, I'll get outta here. 

(There's no rules for us) 

(Downtown) 

I'll start climbin' up hill and get outta here. 

('Cause it's dangerous) 

(Downtown) 

Someone tell me I still could get outta here. 

(Where there rainbow just doesn't show) 

Someone tell lady luck that I'm stuck here! 

(When you get...) 

(Downtown) 

Seymour and Audrey: 

Gee it sure would be swell to get outta here. 

Bid the gutter farewell and get outta here. 

I'd move heaven and hell to get outta Skid. 

I'd do I don't know what to get outta Skid. 

But a hell of a lot to get outta Skid. 

People tell me there's not a way outta Skid. 

But believe me I gotta get outta Skid 

Row!
