Downtown Came Uptown — текст песни (David Wilcox (Canadian))

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
