Uptown It's murder out in the street Uptown It's murder out in the street That's where I found my mandarin plum That's where you'd be if you found one Where the nights are bright And joy is complete Keep my squeeze on Green Flower Street Since May There's trouble most every night Where once we danced our sweet routine It reeks of wine and kerosene Where the nights are bright And joy is complete Keep my squeeze on Green Flower Street There's a special place for lovers One we understand There where neon bends in daylight sky In that sunny room she soothes me Cools me with her fan We're drifting A thousand years roll by Lou Chang Her brother he's burning with rage Lou Chang Her brother he's burning with rage I'd like to know what's on his mind He says hey buddy you're not my kind Where the nights are bright And joy is complete Keep my squeeze on Green Flower Street
