down town

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
