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
Chorus
Downtown things'll be great when you're
Downtown you'll find a place for sure
Downtown everything's waiting for you
Downtown
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 the 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, and go
Chorus
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, let's go
Chorus
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 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 (fade)
