  Up to Lexington, 1-2-5

Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
D               G                       D      G
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
D                      F#          
Oh pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mind
G                      A
I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine

D              G                   D       G
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
D        G               D     G
PR shoes and a big straw hat
D                 F#    
He's never early, he's always late
G                                 A

[Verse 4]
D                   G                   D        G
Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
D                       G          D        G
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
D                   F#    
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
G                               A
Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste

    I'm waiting for my man

[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
D                      G                          D       G
Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout
D                          G                    D     G
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
D                 F#    
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine
G                                    A
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
D        G              D     G
    I'm waiting for my man
