When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown.
When you've got worries all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help
I know - downtown.
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
you can forget all your troubles
Forget all your cares
so go - downtown
Things 'll be great when you're - downtown
No finer place for sure - downtown
Everything's waiting for you - downtown.
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movies shows - downtown.
Maybe you know some little places to go to where they never close-
downtown.
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over happy again.
The lights are much brighter there
you can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So Go, Downtown where all the lights are bright
Downtown - waiting for you tonight
Downtown - you're gonna be all right now
Downtown...
Downtown...
Downtown...
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you
and needs a gentle hand to guide them along.
So maybe I'll see you there
we can forget all our troubles
Forget all our cares
so go - downtown
Things 'll be great when you're - downtown
don't wait a minute more - downtown
Everything is waiting for you -
downtown
downtown
downtown
downtown.
