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.
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 gentl Bossa Nova.
You’ll be dancing with ‘em too before the night is over, happy again.
The lights are much brigher 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 Downtown
Don’t wait a minute more, Downtown
Everything’s waiting for you.
