He gets up each morning and he goes downtownwhere everyones his boss,and hes lost in an angry land.
Hes a little man.
But then he comes uptowneach evening to my tentament.
Uptown where folks dont have to pay much rent.
And when hes there with mehe can see that hes everything.
The man is tall, he dont crawl.
Hes a king.
Downtown hes just one of a million guys .
He dont get no breaks,and he takes all they got to givecause hes got to live.
But then he comes uptownwhere he can hold his head up high.
