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 gentle bossa nova

You'll be dancing with him 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



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 for
Downtown - everything's waiting for you



Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown
