Downtown Songtext
von Petula Clark

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
It 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 will be great when you′re downtown
You'll find a place for sure, downtown
Everything's waiting for you
Oh yeah, yeah
(Downtown)


Don′t hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows
Where? Downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go
To where they never close
Where? Downtown

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

So go downtown
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
Waiting for us tonight, downtown
We're gonna be alright now
Downtown (downtown, c′mon)

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


So go downtown
Things will be great when we′re all downtown
Don't wait a minute more, downtown
Everything′s waiting for you
I can walk home

Where?
Downtown
