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 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.
Downnnntown!
