[Verse 1]
She saw me walking down the streets of your fine city
Kinda turned me on when she looked at me and said – "Come here"
Now I don't usually talk to strangers
But she looked so pretty
What can I lose if I, uh, just give her a little ear?
"What’s up, little girl?
I ain't got time to play"
Baby didn't say too much, ah
She said, "Are you gay?"
Kinda took me by surprise
I didn’t know what to do
I just looked her in her eyes
And I said, "No – are you?"
Said to myself, said,
"She's just a crazy, crazy, crazy
Little mixed-up dame
She's just a victim of society and all its games"
[Pre-Chorus]
Now whеre I come from
We don't lеt society
Tell us how it's supposed to be
Our clothes, our hair – we don't care
It's all about being there
[Chorus]
Everybody's going
Uptown
That’s where I want to be
Uptown
Set your mind free, yeah
Uptown
Got my body hot
Get down
I don’t want to stop! Yeah
[Verse 2]
As soon as we got there
Good times were rolling
White, Black, Puerto Rican, everybody just a-freakin'
Good times were rollin’
She started dancing in the streets – oh
The girl, she's just gone mad – you know
She even made love to me, ooh
The best that I ever had, oh yeah
I don't usually talk to strangers
This time it's alright
She got me hot, ah
I couldn’t stop, ah
Good times were rollin' all night – all night, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Where I come from
We don't give a damn
We do whatever we please
It ain't about no downtown, nowhere-bound, narrow-minded drag
It's all about being free
[Chorus]
Everybody's going
Uptown
That's where I want to be
Uptown
If you set your mind free, yeah
Uptown
Keep your body hot
Get down
I don't want to stop, no
[Outro]
Uptown (Oh, ha, yeah…)
Uptown
Everybody's going, everybody's going
Everybody got to, got to
Uptown
(Got to go-go-go...)
Got to go (Oh...)
Uptown
