Lyrics
He (Cm)gets up each morn in’ and he goes down town,
where ev ’ry one’s his boss and he’s lost in an an gry land,
he’s a lit tle man.
But then he comes (C)up town each eve ning to my ten e ment,
(Am)up town where folks don’t have to pay much rent.
And (F)when he’s there with me, he can see that he’s ev ’ry thing.
The Then he’s (Ab)tall,
it’s he don’t (Fm7)crawl, when he’s a (C)king.
(Cm)Down town he’s just one of a mil lion guys,
where he don’t get no breaks and he takes all they got to give,
’cause he’s got ta live.
But then he comes (C)up town where he can hold his head up high,
(Am)up town he knows that I’ll be stand in’ by.
And (F)when I take his hand, there’s no man who can put him down.
The world is (Ab)sweet,
it’s at his (Fm7)feet when he’s up (C)king.
(C)town,
oh,
(C)town,
oh,
oh.
Oh,
oh.
Oh,
oh.
