When you're alone, and life is making you lonely 
You can always go 
Downtown 
 
When you've got worries, all the noise and 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 will be great when you're 
Downtown -- you'll find a place for sure 
Downtown -- everything's waiting for you 
 
 
Downtown .... 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, and go 
Downtown -- where all the lights are bright 
Downtown -- waiting for you tonight 
Downtown -- you're gonna be all right now... 
 
 
Downtown...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 will 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 
Downtown...Downtown (fade)
