Downtown
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. Ev'rything′s waiting for you.


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 Bosa 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 alright now.

*Instrumental*
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 Downton.
Don't wait a minute more Downtown Ev'rything′s waiting for you.

Downtown. Downtown... (repeat and fade)
