David Wilcox (Canadian) - Downtown Came Uptown lyrics

rate me

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

Ah 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

BRIDGE

Well you told me that you love me

And said I could be your man

Ah but then you said I had no more style

Than a rat in a garbage can

My manicures 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 up town for you
