Takin’ It Uptown Lyrics by The Kingpins

0

You know I love the techno
And I love the drum & bass
And I like the Rock 'n Roll
In the right time and place
But the sound that always moves me
The one that always drives me
It makes me feel so good
So way down deep inside me
Reggae come down from the alley
And we're taking it uptown
And we're on the main street now
We got the sounds of the underground
And we're takin' it uptown
You know I can sing the disco
And I can sing the blues
Rap to the hip hop
So many styles to choose
But the one that always grabs me
And puts me in the mood
Is the sweet sounds of ska
Come on everybody move
Reggae come down from the alley
And we're taking it uptown
And we're on the main street now
We got the sounds of the underground
And we're takin' it uptown
You got to move your feet
You gotta move your bottom
This here one sound for each and everyone
One called JFK, me is born Canadian
Rap to the sound they call Jamaican
This here sound originating from the Island
Spread out to America and in England
Comin' from the ghetto but it's made for everyone
Now you hear it playing on the radio station
Reggae come down from the alley
And we're taking it uptown
And we're on the main street now
We got the sounds of the underground
And we're takin' it uptown
