Uba's House Of Fashions Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

The door swung wide, I walked right in 

I was a long way off from where I'd been 

From behind a desk, inside a cool green cloud 

A strange low voice told me then to join the crowd 

Chorus: 

At uba's 

Uba's 

Uba's 

Fashions 

Fashions 

Uba said to jumbo "won't you take my childcc 

I have a walked a million miles 

Changin' my clothes, changin' what I wear 

Used to worry about things, now I just don't care" 

Chorus repeat 

A long line formed at the door to the back 

Everybody wanted a dress off the rack 

They wanted somethin' from her that made her shake 

She screamed "everybody gotta pay for what they take" 

Chorus repeat 

I'm leavin' town now, and changin' my name 

I'm never going to be the same 

Jumbo had a baby, lives on blueberry hill 

And everybody got a mama, 'cause she's hangin' out there still 

Chorus repeat x2 

Uba's house of fashions (x12) 

Snoihsaf ,s'abu s'abu ,s'abu ta 

Llits ereht tuo 'nignah s'ehs esuac'
