Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, there lives a doll just made for me
She's the finest thing that you've ever seen
Oh ho ha

Uptown, I see her most every day
Uptown, but she never ever looks my way
I'm just a bellhop, you see I can't stop
And tell her what I wanna say

That one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes, and then I'll be uptown
In penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me

Yeah, one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes, and then I'll be uptown
In penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me
