| Song | Takin' It On Uptown |
| Artist | Chicago |
| Album | Chicago XI |
| 作词 : Kagan, Kath | |
| Walkin' through the fog on a cold and cloudy night | |
| Lookin' through the smog that surrounds the mornin' light | |
| The shades of brown. It gets me down, exactly like my life | |
| I don't deserve the hand I'm dealt：a flush in spades of strife. | |
| I've grown tired of speeches that are nothing but a bore | |
| So I'm rounding up the broken me and headin' on out the door | |
| Without no lag I'm packin' my bag of discontented frowns | |
| And hopping numer eighty-six, the first train that is freedom bound. | |
| Got my bag of many frowns and I'm takin' it on uptown. | |
| Big city lights | |
| Funkier nights | |
| Happier days | |
| Goin' my way | |
| It should be right | |
| But I'm still uptight | |
| Hey, I better put down | |
| And get movin' on | |
| I'm through with aggravation | |
| Don't deserve the degradation | |
| I'm putting all the negatives down | |
| To hop the train that's feedom bound for uptown. | |
| Got my bag of many frowns and I'm takin' it on uptown. |
