Uptown

It's murder out in the street

Uptown

It's murder out in the street

That's where I found my mandarin plum

That's where you'd be if you found one



Where the nights are bright

And joy is complete

Keep my squeeze on Green Flower Street



Since May

There's trouble most every night

Where once we danced our sweet routine

It reeks of wine and kerosene



Where the nights are bright

And joy is complete

Keep my squeeze on Green Flower Street



There's a special place for lovers

One we understand

There where neon bends in daylight sky

In that sunny room she soothes me

Cools me with her fan

We're drifting

A thousand years roll by



Lou Chang

Her brother he's burning with rage

Lou Chang

Her brother he's burning with rage

I'd like to know what's on his mind

He says hey buddy you're not my kind



Where the nights are bright

And joy is complete

Keep my squeeze on Green Flower Street
