Lyrics

When you're alone
And life is making you lonely
You can always go
Down town

When you've got worries
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to hurt, I know
Down town

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

And go down town
Things will be great when you're
Down town
No finer place for sure
Down town
Everything's waiting for you

Don't hang around
And let your problems surround you
There are movie shows
Down town

Maybe you know
Some little places to go
To where they never close
Down town

Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle bossa-nova
You'll be dancing with them, 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 down town
Where all the lights are bright
Down town
Waiting for you tonight
Down town
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 him along

So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares

And go down town
Things will be great when you're
Down town
Don't wait a minute more
Down town
Everything's waiting for you
