Poor Side of Town - Al Wilson

Do do do, wah

Shooby dooby

Do do do, wah

Shooby dooby

Now how can you tell me

How much you’ve missed me

When the last time I saw you

You wouldn’t even kiss me

Now that rich guy you’ve been seein'

He must have put you down

So welcome back, baby

Back to the poor side of town

To him you were nothing

But a little plaything

Girl, you were not much more

Than just another overnight fling

To me, you were the greatest thing

This boy had ever found

And, girl, it’s so hard to find nice things

Here on the poor side of town

I don’t blame you for trying

I’m trying to make it too

But I’ve got one little hangup, baby

You know I just can’t make it without you

So tell me

Are you gonna stay now?

I wanna know, will you stand by me, girl

All the way now

Oh, with you by my side

I know they can’t keep us down

'Cause together, we’re gonna make it, baby

Right here on the poor side of town

Do do do, wah

Shooby dooby

Do do do, wah

Shooby dooby
