Karaoké Downtown Came Uptown David Wilcox

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

Oh, 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

Well you told me that you love me and said I could be your man

Oh, but then you said

I had no more style than a rat in a garbage can

My manicure's 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 uptown for you
