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.
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 - downtown.
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movies shows - downtown.
Maybe you know some little places to go to where they never close - downtown.
Listen to the rhythm of a 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
so go - downtown
Where all the lights are bright - downtown
Waiting for you tonight - downtown
You gonna be all right - downtown
downtown
downtown
downtown
