(I live down in Shantytown where chicken's twenty cents a pound) And if you live on such solid ground whatcha doin' down in Shantytown Whatcha doin' down in Shantytown
Well I'm back on your side of the tracks Have come back for me to take you back Back to your high society to your coctails and your teas I'll look up but don't look down cause we got pride in Shantytown
(I live down in Shantytown... [ ac.guitar ] Behind the walls of your shackled heart beats pure While the rich have a love to endure Well is the gold in your crown turning black Is there something here in Shantytown that keeps you coming back
