When you're a-lone
and life is mak-ing you lone-ly
You can al-ways go down-town
When you've got wor-ries,
all the noise and the hur-ry
Seems to help, I know down-town
Just lis-ten to the mu-sic
of the traf-fic in the ci-ty
Lin-ger on the side-walk
where the ne-on signs are pret-ty
How can you lose?
The lights are much bright-er there
You can for-get all your trou-bles,
For-get all your cares
So go down-town,
Things-'ll be great when you're
Down-town no fin-er place, for sure
Down-town ev-'ry-thing's wait-ing for you
Don't hang a-round and let
your prob-lems sur-round you
There are mov-ie shows down-town
May-be you know some lit-tle
Plac-es to go to
Where they nev-er close down-town
Just lis-ten to the rhy-thm
of a gen-tle bos-sa no-va
You'll be danc-ing with him too
Be-fore the night is o-ver
Hap-py a-gain
The lights are much bright-er there
You can for-get all your trou-bles,
For-get all your cares
So go down-town,
Things-'ll be great when you're
Down-town no fin-er place, for sure
Down-town ev-'ry-thing's wait-ing for you
where all the lights are bright
Down-town wait-ing for you to-night
Down-town you're gon-na be al-right now
And you may find some-bod-y kind
to help and un-der-stand you
Some-one who is just like you
and needs a gen-tle hand to
Guide them a-long
So may-be I'll see you there
We can for-get all our trou-bles,
For-get all our cares
So go down-town,
Things-'ll be great when you're
Down-town - don't wait a min-ute more
Down-town ev-'ry-thing's wait-ing for you
Down-town, down-town, down-town, down-town
