On The Downtown Side Of An Uptown Street

On the downtown side of an uptown street     Is the home of a girl that I'd like to meet,         But I'm on the uptown,         And she's on the downtown,     On the downtown side of an uptown street.     On the uptown side of the crowded old "L,"     I see her so often I know her quite well,         But I'm on the downtown         When she's on the uptown,     On the uptown side of the crowded old "L."     On the uptown side of a downtown street     This girl is employed that I'd like to meet,         But I work on the downtown         And she on the uptown,     The uptown side of a downtown street.     On a downtown car of the Broadway line     Often I see her for whom I repine,         But when I'm on a uptown         She's on a downtown,     On a downtown car of the Broadway line.     Oh, to be downtown when I am uptown,     Oh, to be uptown when I am downtown,         I work at night time,         She in the daytime,     Never the right time for us to meet,     Uptown or downtown, in "L," car or street.
