Shantytown

(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 ShantytownWell 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 cocktails and your teas

I'll look up but don't look down

Cause we got pride in Shantytown

(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 ShantytownBehind 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

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
