Skid Row (Downtown)

In the style of

Little Shop Of Horrors

Lyrics

alarm goes off at seven

and you start uptown

you put in your eight hours

for the powers

that have always been

'till it's five p.m.

then you go

downtown

where the folks are broke

you go downtown

where your life's a joke

you go downtown

when you buy your token

you go

home to skid row

home to skid row

yes you go downtown

where the cabs don't stop

downtown

where the food is slop

downtown

where the hop-heads flop

in the snow

down on skid row

uptown you cater to

a million jerks

uptown you're messengers

and mailroom clerks

eating all your lunches at the

hot dog carts

the bosses take your money

and they break your hearts

in uptown you cater

to a million w#####

you disinfect terrazzo on their

bathroom floors

your morning's tribulation

afternoon's a curse

and five o'clock

is even worse

that's when you go

downtown

where the guys are drips

downtown

where they rip your slips

downtown

where relationships are no go

down on skid row

down on skid row

down on skid row

down on skid row

poor all my life

i've always been poor

i keep asking god

what i'm for?

and he tells me

gee i'm not sure

sweep that floor kid oh

i started life as an orphan

a child of the street

here on skid row

he took me in gave

me shelter a bed

crust of bread

and a job

treats me like dirt

calls me a slob

which i am

so i live

downtown

that's your home address

you live

downtown

when your life's a mess

you live

downtown
where depressions' just

status quo

down on skid row

someone show me a way

to get outta here

'cos i constantly pray

i'll get outta here

please won't somebody

say i'll get outta here

someone gimme my shot

or i'll rot here

show me how and i will

i'll get outta here

i'll start climbing up hill

and get outta here

someone tell me i still

could get outta here

someone tell lady luck

that i'm stuck here

gee it sure would be swell

to get outta here

bid the gutter farewell

and get outta here

i'd move heaven and hell

to get outta skid

i'll do i don't know what

to get outta skid

but a hell of a lot

to get outta skid

people tell me there's

not a way outta skid

but believe me i gotta

get outta skid row
