sam attwater – uptown lyrics

[bronfman, spoken]
have you ever thought about changing your name? hershkowitz is too…too…

[rebecca, spoken]
too what?

[bronfman, spoken]
how about harris? yes, “miss rebecca harris”. you’re not like the others

[sung]
it’s high time that you learned your place is there
uptown
joined the folks with the whiter faces there
uptown
where you’ll live
right next to
those who once looked down on you
you’ll look down on them
and you won’t remember
how locked out of the golden door you were
that’s before you were
uptown

[spoken]
listen, rebecca. i have more clients uptown who want the kind of dresses you make. we can charge ten dollars a dress. i’ll split it with you, fifty+fifty. that’s five dollars a dress for you. double what you make now. what do you say?
[bronfman, rebecca, both]
no more sweltering on the stoop again
i could have my own room
uptown
no more suppers of cabbage soup again
bella and me in our shop
in your smart new skirt + what a beaut!
david in a store+bought suit?
yes!
that’s my dream + life that’s fine
we’re a team + your dream is mine
if you stick with me
soon you will be free of
living down there where life embarrasses
once miss harris is
uptown…
uptown…
once miss harris is
uptown
