Downtown
Jim Solar, Spizz
Uptown girl walks through the city
Neon lights up, ain't she pretty
Looking for some new excitement
Will she find the right assignment?
Downtown
So she learns to find her way
'Round 42nd and Broadway
Wearing clothes, now red, not grey
Thinks she's Billie Holiday
Downtown
Now she takes your breath away
Earns a thousand bucks a day
Ritzy pictures in a magazine
Big star of the TV screen
Downtown
Rags to riches, success story
American dream in all its glory
New York life, so dark and sleazy
Makes songwriting easy-peasy
How now, brown cow
