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
