Max Romeo - Uptown Babies Dont Cry Lyrics

See the little lad, selling Kiss - cup?
Shouting; Kiss ca-pop, Kiss ca-pop
Kiss ca-pop, Kiss ca-pop's
See the little lad, selling star?
Shouting; star news, read the news
Read the news, rends the news
He is doing it you see
To help his mummy pay the fee
For little junior to go to school
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
They have mummy and daddy
Lot's of toys to play with
Nanny and granny
Lot's of friends to stay with
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
They have mummy and daddy

Lot's of toys to play with
Nanny and granny
Lot's of feiends to say with
Hear that little baby crying?
Yes she's crying, she's crying
She's crying because she's hungry
You can hear her mama saying
It ain't easy, ain't easy
Ain't easy when you're poor, you see
And speaking of life in the ghetto
Where sur-vival is the motto
And putting it to you
Poverty is a sin
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They know what suffering is like
They have mummy and daddy
Lot's of toys to play with
Nanny and granny
Lot's of friends to stay with
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like

They have mummy and daddy
Lot's of toys to play with
Nanny and granny
Lot's of friends to stay with
Uptown babies don 't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
(Mummy and daddy)
They don't know what suffering is like
(Mummy and daddy)
Uptown babies don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
(Mummy and daddy)
They don't know what suffering is like
