When Down Is Up
Verse 1
I didn’t try hard to write this song
Because it was there all along
Like a doorbell which goes ding dong
The connotation is so strong
It’s banging like a gong
It will hit you like dragging on a bong
Chorus
When down is up while up is down
I feel like I’m uptown bound
Just take a listen to the sound
The treble sings while the bass notes pound
The melody goes round and round
‘Cause down is up and up is down
Verse 2
Swing along like the rich folks do
This will sweep away your blues
Don’t need no money don’t have to pay no dues
Come dance with me, I’ll dance with you
Don’t have to think and get confused
This is a winner which will never lose
Bridge
Be as happy as on payday
Swing along get swept away
Chorus
When down is up while up is down
I feel like I’m uptown bound
Just take a listen to the sound
The treble sings while the bass notes pound
The melody goes round and round
‘Cause down is up and up is down
Verse 3
Dance along to this melody
It’s as easy as one, two, three
It’s as simple as can be
Just follow along with me
It will knock you out of your tree
Beat your feet to this rhapsody
Bridge
Be as happy as on payday
Swing along get swept away
Chorus
When down is up while up is down
I feel like I’m uptown bound
Just take a listen to the sound
The treble sings while the bass notes pound
The melody goes round and round
‘Cause down is up and up is down
