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 evening to my tentament.
|
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent.
|
And when he's there with me
|
he can see that he's everything.
|
The man is 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.
|
And uptown he knows I'm gonna be standing by.
|
And when I take his hand,
|
there's no man who can put him down, down, down.
|
Oh, the world's so sweet at his feet when he's uptown.
|
Whoa-oo-oh-whoa.
|
When he's uptown.
|
Whoa-oo-whoa-oo-whoa-oh-oh.
|
|
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
|
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
|
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
|
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
|
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
|
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
|
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
|
Don't!
|
|
Met him on a monday and my heart stood still.
|
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
|
Somebody told me that his name was Bill.
|
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
|
Whoa, my heart stood still.
|
Yeah, his name was Bill.
|
And when he walked me home,
|
da doo run run run da doo run run.
|
|
He knew what he was doin' when he caught my eye.
|
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
|
He looked kind of quiet. My, oh my.
|
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
|
Oh, he caught my eye.
|
My, my, my, my, oh my.
|
And when he walked me home,
|
da doo run run run da doo run run.
|
|
Here we go!
|
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
|
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
|
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
|
Da do run run, hey!
|
|
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run.
|
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run.
|
Run-a-run-a-run, run-a-run-a-run.
|
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run.
|
|
Run-a-run-a-run, run-a-run-a-run.
|
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run
