Karaoké Skid Row (Downtown) Little Shop of Horrors (musical)

Alarm goes off at seven and you start uptown

You put in your eight hours for the powers

That have always been 'till it's five p.m.

Then you go

Downtown where the folks are broke

You go downtown where your life's a joke

You go downtown when you buy your token

You go home to skid row

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

In uptown you cater to a million whores

You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors

Your morning's tribulation afternoon's a curse

And five o'clock is even worse

That's when you go

Downtown where the guys are drips

Downtown where they rip your slips

Downtown where relationships are no go

Down on skid row

Down on skid row down on skid row down on skid row

Down on skid row

Down on skid row down on skid row down on skid row

Poor all my life

I've always been poor

I keep asking 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

That's your home address you live downtown

When your life's a mess you live

Downtown

Where depressions' just status quo

Down on skid row

Someone show me a way to get outta here

'Cos I constantly pray

I'll get outta here

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

Someone gimme my shot or I'll rot here

Downtown

Show me how and I will there's no rules for us

I'll get outta here

Downtown

I'll start climbing up hill 'cos it's dangerous and get outta here

Downtown

Downtown

Someone tell me I still where the rainbow's where the rainbow's could get outta here

Just a no-show

Just a no-show

Someone tell lady Luck that I'm stuck here

Downtown

Gee it sure would be swell

Be swell where the sun don't shine to get outta here to get outta here

Downtown

Bid the gutter farewell

Bid the gutter farewell past the bottom line and get outta here and get outta here

Downtown

I'd move heaven and hell

I'd move heaven and hell go ask any wino he'll know to get outta skid to get outta skid

I'll do I don't know what

I'll do I don't know what to get outta skid to get outta skid

Downtown

But a hell of a lot

But a hell of a lot to get outta skid to get outta skid downtown

People tell me there's

People tell me there's not a way outta skid not a way outta skid

Downtown

But believe me I gotta

But believe me I gotta get outta skid row get outta skid row skid row
