When you're alone
And life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown.
When you 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 sidewalks
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 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 '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
Downtown.
When you're alone
And life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown.
When you got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help,
I know 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.
So go downtown.
Things'll be great when you're
Downtown.
Don't wait a minute more
Downtown.
Everything's waiting for you
Downtown.
