Music & Lyrics by Lee James McAboy and Sheila Kaufman
Back when swing was king and you couldn't walk down the street and not hear some of the best live music played by the hottest musicians. Night clubs were packed and uptown Saturday night was the place to be.
Uptown Saturday Night
Uptown Saturday Night
Come along with me,
You just have to see,
Walking uptown with my baby
Walking uptown where the bright lights are shinin',
Walking uptown with my baby
Makin' the scene for some winin' and dinin'
We'll pick a spot where music is playin'
Back in the corner,
know what I'm sayin'.
Where the music's hot
Yeah I know just the spot
Walking uptown with my baby
Walkin' uptown with my Kitten beside me.
Walking uptown with my baby.
A cookin' time, and I don't just mean maybe.
Sweet Baby James, he's ticklin' the ivorys
Playin' our song and burning the keys, oh yeah
The music's hot
We'll show 'em what we've got
Everybody's gonna be dancing
Shakin' and a-bakin', they're prancin'
Dancin', Dancin', Dancin', Dancin'
Swingin' out, we've got lotsa flair
We're swingin' out, we don't even care
The joint is jumpin' when we're uptown Saturday Night
Come uptown, grab your baby,
Gotta come uptown and then maybe
You'll be gettin' down, comin' uptown Saturday Night
Horns are blowin and liquor is flowin'
Skirts are swirlin', and peek-a-boos showin'
Boogie back, a little glide n' slide,
We're swingin' uptown Saturday night
Horns are blowin', uptown Saturday night
Skirts are swirlin', uptown Saturday night
Cats are wailin', Uptown Saturday night
Struttin' uptown with my baby
Struttin' uptown in the lights of the city
Struttin' uptown with my baby
Tellin' ya man, she is one cookin' kitty.
She can't sit still when music starts playin'
I just keep up when she starts sashayin'
When the music burns
We're simply takin' turns
Everybody's gonna be dancin'
Everybody's there for Romancin'
Get down uptown, get down uptown, get down uptown.
