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 and 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 movie shows downtown Maybe you know Some little places to go to Where they never close downtown Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova 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 and go Downtown where all the lights are bright, Downtown, waiting for you tonight, Downtown, you're gonna be alright now (Downtown 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 and go Downtown, things'll be great when you're Downtown, don't wait a minute more, Downtown, everything's waiting for you Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown) Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown) (repeat and fade out)
