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 more  Downtown - everything's waiting for you    Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown ...
