Craig Lucas - Uptown, Downtown lyrics

[MAN] Now this is the tale of the dame known as Harriet Who climbed to the top of the heap from the bottom A beautiful life was her aim and to vary it She wanted the sun and the moon and she got 'em She isn't the least exhausted from her climb But she does look back from time to time And the subject of this evening's quiz Is who she was and who she is Uptown: She's stepping out with a swell Downtown: She's holding hands on the El Hyphenated Harriet: The nouveau from New Rochelle Uptown: She's got the Vanderbilt clans Downtown: She's with the sidewalk Cezannes Hyphenated Harriet: The nouveau from New Rochelle She sits at the Ritz with her splits of Mumms And starts to pine for a stine with her Village chums But with the schlitz in her mitts down in Fitzroy's Bar She thinks of the Ritz, so it's so schizo Uptown: It's Harry Winston she needs Downtown: It's strictly zircons and beads Ask her: Should she be uptown or down? She two of the most miserable girls in town
