Poor Side Of Town Lyrics By 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
