Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Up-Uptown
Up-Uptown
[Verse 2]
Uptown (Up-Uptown)
In penthouse number three (Up-Uptown, Up-Uptown)
Up-Uptown (Doo-doo-wop)
There lives a doll just made for me (Doo-doo-wop, doo-doo-wop)
'Cause she's the finest thing
Oh, that you've ever seen, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 3]
Uptown, I see her most everyday
Uptown, oh, but she never ever looks my way
I'm just a bellhop, you see I can't stop
And tell her what I wanna say
[Verse 4]
Oh, that one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever lovin' honey
It won't be long, just a wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes and then I'll be
[Verse 5]
Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me
(Doo-doo-wop, doo-doo-doo-wop)
[Verse 6]
Oh, yeah, one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever lovin' honey
It won't be long, just a wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes and then I'll be
[Verse 7]
Uptown (Up-Uptown)
In penthouse number three
Uptown (Up-Uptown)
Just my baby and me (Up-Uptown, Up-Uptown)
[Verse 8]
Up-Uptown
Up-Uptown
Up-Uptown
Up-Uptown
