Buckhead

buck = a dollar -> coins and chips riffling; affluent uptown, Lenox/Phipps, nightlife

Lyrics

[Intro - 10 second instrumental, no vocals: coins and chips riffling and cascading, a card-swipe, a beat building]

[Verse 1]
Up where the towers wear the city's crown,
the moneyed uptown looking down on downtown;
a buck in the name and a buck in the air,
Buckhead glittering without a care.

[Verse 2]
Lenox and Phipps and the velvet-rope night,
the riffle of cash under chandelier light;
spend it and flaunt it, let the good times ring,
the uptown buzz of a moneyed thing.

[Chorus]
Buckhead, Buckhead, riffle and spend,
the bucks keep coming and they never end;
cha, cha, cha, let the coins cascade,
the glittering uptown never afraid.

[Outro - instrumental, no vocals: the coins cascading out, a final card-swipe]
