Uptown Girl

Also featuring Sarah (with an "H"), Tien, and Andy

Uptown girl
Shes been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why

Im gonna try for an uptown girl
Shes been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now shes looking for a downtown man
Thats what I am

And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind

Shell see Im not so tough
Just because
Im in love with an uptown girl
You know Ive seen her in her uptown world
Shes getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
Shes got a choice

Uptown girl
You know I cant afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
Shell understand what kind of guy Ive been
And then Ill win

And when shes walking
Shes looking so fine
And when shes talking
Shell say that shes mine

Shell say Im not so tough
Just because
Im in love
With and uptown girl
Shes been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now shes looking for a downtown man
Thats what I am

Uptown girl
Shes my uptown girl
You know Im in love
With an uptown girl

My uptown girl
Dont you know Im in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
Dont you know Im in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl

Wow. All I can say is wow. My parents owned a copy of Billy Joel's greatest hits volumes one and two, and when I was little I listened to those records on the hi-fi like mad, lying on the carpet just soaking them up. This was always a favorite. This ensemble approach is really unbelievable! I particularly love the outro.

I'll file this with "You're So Vain." I could seriously listen to an entire album of this stuff, dudes. Keep it coming!
