Let Me off Uptown

Hey Joe

What do you mean Joe? My name's Roy

Well, come here Roy and get groovy

You been uptown?

No I ain't been uptown but I've been around

You mean to say you ain't been uptown?

No, I ain't been uptown, what's uptown?

If it's pleasure you're about

And you feel like stepping out

All you've got to shout is

Let me off uptown

If it's rhythm that you feel

Then it's nothing to conceal

Oh, you've got to spiel it

Let me off uptown

Rib joints, juke joints, hep joints

Where could a fella go to top it?

If you want to pitch a ball

And you can't afford a hall

All you've got to call is

Let me off uptown

Anita, oh Anita, say I feel something

What you feel Roy, the heat?

No, it must be that uptown rhythm I feel like blowing

Well blow Roy, blow
