Downtown (Skid Row)
Little Shop Of Horrors

[Crystal]

Alarm goes off at seven

and you start uptown.

You put in your eight hours

for the powers that have always been.


[Ronnette]

sing it, child


[Crystal]

Til it's five P. M.

[Wino #1]

Then you go


[Downtown Girls]

Downtown

Where the folks are broke

You go

Downtown

Where your life's a joke

You go

Downtown

When you buy your token, you go-

Home to Skid Row!

Home to Skid Row!


[Wino #1]

yes, you go


[All]

Downtown

[Crystal]

Where the cabs don't stop.

[All]

Downtown

[Mushnik]

Where the food is slop.

[All]

Downtown

Where the hop-heads flop in the snow!

Down on Skid Row!


[Girls]

Uptown you cater to a million jerks

Uptown your messengers and mailroom clerks

Eatin' all your lunches at the hot-dog carts

The bosses take your money

And they break your hearts


And uptown you cater to a million whores

You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors

Your morning's tribulation, afternoon's a curse

And five o'clock is even worse-


[Wino #1]

That's when you go

[All]

Downtown

[Audrey]

Where the guys are drips.

[All]

Downtown

[Audrey]

Where they rip your slips.

Downtown

Where relationships are no-go.


[All]

Down on Skid Row!


[Seymour]

Poor!

All my life, I've always been poor!

I keep asking 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...


[Others]

Downtown

[Seymour]

That's your home address, ya live

[Others]

Downtown

[Seymour]

When your life's a mess, ya live

[Others]

Downtown

[Seymour]

Where depression's jes' status quo!

[Others]

Down on Skid Row!


[Seymour]

Someone show me a way to get outa here

Cause I constantly pray I'll get outa here

Please won't somebody say I'll get outa here

Someone gimme my shot or I'll rot here!


{lyrics A and B are sung at the same time, C and D will be sung at the same time}


[Seymour]{A}

Show me how and I will,

I'll get outa here

I'll start climbin' up hill

and get outa here

Someone tell me I still

could get outa here

Someone tell lady luck

that I'm stuck here


[Cast]{B}

Downtown

There's no rules for us

Downtown-

Cause it's dangerous

Downtown

Where the rainbow's just a no-show

when you live...


[Seymour & Audrey]{C}

Gee, it sure would be swell

to get outa here

Bid the gutter farewell

and get outa here

I'd move heaven and hell

to get outa Skid

I'd do I-dunno-what

to get outa Skid

But a hell of a lot

to get outa Skid

People tell me theres

Not a way outa Skid

But believe me I gotta get outa


[Cast] {D}

Downtown

Where the sun don't shine!

Downtown

Past the bottom line

Down town

Go ask any whino, he'll know


Downtown


Downtown


Downtown
