"Moving Uptown" lyrics

"Moving Uptown"
(performed by Ashleigh Murray)
(originally from "The Wild Party" musical)
(from "Riverdale: Season 7" soundtrack)


Gentlemen
You are looking at a woman who invented The Walk
You know The Walk? I invented that
You are looking at a female who has driven men to homicide
How, must you ask
Look at these beautiful legs
These legs were built to drive men mad
Would you like to dance?

But first
I hear you're moving uptown
I'll go with you
I hear you're taking talent
Talent I do, I do
I've headlined with the best
I can still pack them in
I hear you're moving uptown
I know the way cuz I've already been

When you look around the room, look
Tell me what do you see
Imitations of imitations
I invented myself
I'm a creature who sacrificed love for her art
Why, you may ask
With these smoldering lips
Do you know what it's like to taste such smoldering lips?
Would you like to find out?

But first
I hear you're movin' uptown
Let's go, you lead
I'm ready for the big time
But what I need, I need
I need to return to the place
Where I used to belong
I hear you're going uptown

I hear you're taking me
You're taking me
You're taking me along
