Lyrics
Roy orbison
Uptown, in penhouse 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
