Soloist:
Alarm goes off at seven
and you start up-town.
You put in your eight hours
for the powers
that have always been.
(Sing it child)
'Til it's five-pm...

Company:
"Then you go..."

Downtown
Where the folks are broke. You go
Downtown
Where your life's a joke. You go
Downtown
Where you buy a token. You go...
Home to Skid Row.
Home to Skid Row.

"Yes you go..."

Downtown
Where the cabs don't stop.
Downtown
Where the food is slop.
Downtown
Where the hop-heads flop in the snow...
Down on Skid Row.

Uptown you cater to a million jerks.
Uptown you're messengers and mailroom clerks.
Eating all your lunches at the hot-dog carts.
The bosses take your money and they break your hearts.
Uptown you cater to a million whores.
You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors.
Morning's tribulation, afternoon's a curse
And five o'clock is even worse

"That's when you go..."

(Downtown)
Audrey: Where the guys are drips.
(Downtown)
Audrey: Where they rip your slips.
(Downtown)
Audrey: Where relationships are no go.
Down on Skid Row. (x4)

Seymour:
Poor, all my life I've always been poor.
I keep askin' God what I'm for.
And he tells me, "Gee, I'm not sure."
"Sweep that floor, kid!"
Oh! I started life as an orphan,
A child of the street, here on Skid
Row! He took me in gave me shelter
A bed, crust of bread and a job.
Treats me like dirt, calls me a slob,
Which I am...
So I live

(Downtown)
Seymour: That's your home address, you live
(Downtown)
Seymour: When your life's a mess, you live
(Downtown)
Seymour: Where depression's just status quo.
(Down on Skid Row.)

Seymour: Someone show me a way to get outta here.
'Cause I constantly pray I'll get outta here.
Please won't somebody say I'll get outta here.
Someone gimmie my shot, or I'll rot here!

(Downtown)
Show me how and I will, I'll get outta here.
(There's no rules for us)
(Downtown)
I'll start climbin' up hill and get outta here.
('Cause it's dangerous)
(Downtown)
Someone tell me I still could get outta here.
(Where there rainbow just doesn't show)
Someone tell lady luck that I'm stuck here!
(When you get...)

(Downtown)
Seymour and Audrey:
Gee it sure would be swell to get outta here.
Bid the gutter farewell and get outta here.
I'd move heaven and hell to get outta Skid.
I'd do I don't know what to get outta Skid.
But a hell of a lot to get outta Skid.
People tell me there's not a way outta Skid.
But believe me I gotta get outta Skid
Row!

You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors
The jobs are really menial, you make no bread
And then at 5 o'clock you head
Via subway
Downtown, where the guys are drips
(Downtown)
Where they rip your slips
(Downtown)
Where relationships are no go
Down on Skid Row (Down on Skid Row)

Gee, it sure would be swell to get outta here
(Downtown, past the bottom line) Bid the gutter farewell and get outta here
(Downtown, go ask any wino, he'll know) I'd move heaven and hell to get outta Skid
I'd do I don't know what to get outta Skid
But a hell of a lot to get outta Skid
(Downtown) People tell me there's not a way outta Skid
(Downtown) But believe me, I gotta get outta Skid Row!

I don't think Rick Moranis was ever given as much credit as he deserved in this. He was a gem and I miss seeing him.

@NorthPhilly-zr7xc

Yeah I grew up in his film

@mrsilent5135

I've hugged him

@brianc3761

He still doesn't in this clip. That's a total dub job and it's turrbul.

@deviantsemicolon618

@@brianc3761 it’s all a dub job.

@brianc3761

@@deviantsemicolon618 no I understand for the movie they dub the music but I was under the impression the actors were the ones singing in a sound studio and then lip-synched during the movie... having just seen this YT vid, the dub job over Seymore's voice doesn't sound anything like how it does in the movie. Sounds awful.
