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
  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 bossanova
  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
  Downtown where all the lights are bright,
  Downtown, waiting for you tonight,
  Downtown, you're gonna be alright now
  (Downtown 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 and go
  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 (downtown) downtown (downtown)
  (repeat and fade out)
