lyrics

Isms and schisms were gettin on me
Got to comfy in complacency
Then New York City called
I packed up my Uhaul
And headed down I-93

So I'm movin to Pianotown
Pulling my roots right outa the ground
Movin to Pianotown
Uptown, downtown
Yes, I'm moving to Pianotown
Pulling my roots right outa the ground
Movin to Pianotown
Uptown, downtown
Yes, I'm uptown and downtown
Down, down, down, down...

Six months later still lookin for dough
Watching it all fly out the window
You might think it's strange
Slinging an ax for spare change
I'm selling a song, not selling my soul

So I'm provin in Pianotown
This white boy knows how to get down
Provin in Pianotown
I'm diggin in and gettin down
Yes, I'm provin in Pianotown
This white boy knows how to get down
Provin in Pianotown
I'm diggin in and gettin down
Yes, I'm diggin in and gettin down
Down, down, down, down...

Take the 6, the 5, or the 4
First stop in The Bronx
Then south to my door
Half a block from parole
Half an ounce for a c-note
And a view of the Harlem shore

So I'm groovin in Pianotown
Diggin my roots right into the ground
groovin in Pianotown
I'm diggin in and gettin down
Yes, I'm groovin in Pianotown
Diggin my roots right into the ground
Groovin in Pianotown
I'm diggin in and gettin down
Yes, I'm diggin in and gettin down
Down, down, down, down...
