Little Shop of Horrors movie - Skid Row (Downtown) lyrics
rate me<br>
[WOMAN]<br>
Alarm goes off at seven <br>
And you start uptown.<br>
You put in your eight hours <br>
For the powers that have always been.<br>
Till it's five P.M.<br>
<br>
[BUM 1]<br>
Then You go<br>
<br>
[COMPANY]<br>
Downtown <br>
Where the folks are broke.<br>
Downtown <br>
Where your life's a joke.<br>
Downtown <br>
When you buy your token,<br>
you go<br>
Home to skid row. <br>
<br>
[BUM 2]<br>
Yes, you go<br>
<br>
[COMPANY]<br>
Downtown<br>
Where the cabs don't stop<br>
Downtown<br>
Where the food is slop<br>
Downtown<br>
Where the hop-heads flop<br>
in the snow<br>
Down on Skid Row<br>
<br>
Uptown you cater to a million jerks.<br>
Uptown you're messengers and <br>
mailroom clerks<br>
eating all your lunches at the <br>
hot dog carts.<br>
The bosses take your money <br>
And they break your hearts.<br>
<br>
Uptown you cater to a million whores.<br>
You disinfect terrazzo on their <br>
bathroom floors.<br>
Your morning's tribulation,<br>
afternoon's a curse<br>
And five o'clock is even worse<br>
<br>
[BUM 3]<br>
That's when you go<br>
<br>
[COMPANY]<br>
Downtown<br>
Downtown<br>
Downtown<br>
Down on skid row<br>
Down on skid row<br>
Down on skid row<br>
Down on skid row!<br>
<br>
[AUDREY]<br>
Where the guys are drips.<br>
Where they rip your slips.<br>
Where relationships are no go.<br>
Down on skid row<br>
Down on skid row<br>
Down on skid row<br>
Down on skid row!<br>
<br>
[SEYMOUR]<br>
Poor! All my life I've always been poor.<br>
I keep asking God what I'm for,<br>
and he tells me "Gee, I'm not sure<br>
sweep that floor, kid."<br>
Oh, I started life as an orphan, <br>
a child of the street <br>
Here on skid row.<br>
He took me in, gave me shelter, a bed, <br>
Crust of bread and a job<br>
Treats me like dirt, calls me a slob, <br>
Which I am.<br>
So I live<br>
[COMPANY]<br>
Downtown <br>
[SEYMOUR]<br>
That's your home address.<br>
Ya live<br>
[COMPANY]<br>
Downtown<br>
[SEYMOUR] <br>
When your life's a mess.<br>
Ya live<br>
[COMPANY]<br>
Downtown<br>
[SEYMOUR] <br>
Where depressions' jes' <br>
Status Quo.<br>
[COMPANY]<br>
Down on skid row<br>
<br>
Someone show me a way to get <br>
outa here,<br>
'cause I constantly pray I'll get <br>
outa here<br>
Please, won't somebody say I'll get <br>
outa here<br>
Someone gimme my shot or I'll <br>
rot here.<br>
<br>
[COMPANY]<br>
Downtown<br>
[SEYMOUR & AUDREY]<br>
There's no rules for us.<br>
[COMPANY]<br>
Downtown<br>
[SEYMOUR & AUDREY]<br>
'Cause it's dangerous.<br>
[COMPANY]<br>
Downtown<br>
[SEYMOUR & AUDREY]<br>
Where the rainbow's jus a no-show<br>
[COMPANY]<br>
Downtown<br>
[SEYMOUR & AUDREY]<br>
Where the sun don't<br>
[COMPANY]<br>
Downtown<br>
[SEYMOUR & AUDREY]<br>
Past the bottom line<br>
