little shop of horrors – skid row (downtown) lyrics
soloist:
alarm goes off at seven
and you start up-town.
you put in your eight hours
for the powers
that have always been.
(sing it child)
’til it’s five-pm…
company:
“then you go…”
downtown
where the folks are broke. you go
downtown
where your life’s a joke. you go
downtown
where you buy a token. you go…
home to skid row.(x2)
“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.(x1)
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.
( boys oooh when this is being sung)
and uptown you cater to a million wh-r-s.
you disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors.
the jobs are really menial you make no bread.
and then at five-o’clock you head
“by subway…”
(downtown)
audrey: where the guys are drips.
(downtown)
audrey: where they rip your slips.
(downtown)
audrey: where relationships are no go.
down on skid row. (x8)
seymour:
poor, all my life i’ve always been poor.
i keep askin’ 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 and calls me a slob,
which i am…
so i live
(downtown)
seymour: that’s your home address, you live
(downtown)
seymour: when your life’s a mess, you live
(downtown)
seymour: where depression’s just status quo.
(down on skid row.)
syemour: someone show me a way to get outta here.
audrey: ’cause i constantly pray i’ll get outta here.
seymour:please won’t somebody say i’ll get outta here.
both:someone gimmie my shot, or i’ll rot here!
(downtown)
both: show me how and i will, i’ll get outta here.
(there’s no rules for us)
(downtown)
both: i’ll start climbin’ up hill and get outta here.
(’cause it’s dangerous)
(downtown)
both: someone tell me i still could get outta here.
(where there rainbow just doesn’t show)
both: someone tell lady luck that i’m stuck here!
(when you get…)
(downtown)
both:
gee it sure would be swell to get outta here.
bid the gutter farewell and get outta here.
i’d move heaven and h-ll to get outta skid.
i’d do i don’t know what to get outta skid.
but a h-ll 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!
