Downtown

Downtown - 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

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'll be great when you're

Downtown

No finer place for sure

Downtown

Everything's waiting for you

(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 bossanova

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

Downtown

Where all the lights are bright

Downtown

Waiting for you tonight

Downtown

You're gonna be alright now

(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'll 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)
