Down Town
Petula Clark Lyrics

When you're alone, and life is making you lonely
When you feel lonely and isolated

You can always go
You can always take a trip

Downtown
To the central business district of your city

When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
When you have problems, and the city is busy and noisy,

Seems to help, I know
Going downtown could be an excellent remedy.

Downtown
To the central business district of your city.

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Just listen to the sounds of the busy town.

Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
Spend time on the pavement enjoying the beauty of the colorful neon lights.

How can you lose?
You can't go wrong.

The lights are much brighter there
The lights are brighter downtown than anywhere else.

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
You can set aside all of your concerns and anxiety.

So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
You should go downtown, life will be excellent when you

Downtown, no finer place for sure
The central business district is the best place without question.

Downtown everything's waiting for you
The center of the city has everything you could hope for.

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
Don't wait and let your issues consume you.

There are movie shows
You could go see a film.

Downtown
To the central business district

Maybe you know some little places to go to
You might know some hidden gems.

Where they never close
Places that never close.

Downtown
To the CBD

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
Listen to beautiful bossa nova music.

You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
You'll be dancing with a romantic partner before the night is over.

Happy again
You'll feel good once again.

The lights are much brighter there
The lights in the central business district are much brighter compared to the place you're currently in.

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
You won't have to worry about anything.

So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Go to the central business district, where all the lights are bright.

Downtown, waiting for you tonight
The central business district is ready for your arrival tonight.

Downtown, you're gonna be alright now
The central business district will make you feel better.

Downtown, downtown
To the central business district, the center of the city.

Downtown
To the central business district.

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
You may find someone caring and sympathetic who will guide and support you.

Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Someone who is similar to you and needs a tender hand to …

Guide them along
Guide them along, encourage them.

So maybe I'll see you there
Perhaps we'll visit there together.

We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
We can forget all of our concerns and worries

So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
We have to go downtown, where life will be fantastic if you

Downtown, don't wait a minute for
To the central business district, don't wait any longer.

Downtown, everything's waiting for you
The central business district has everything you could ask for.

Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown
The central business district, the central business district, the central business district

Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown
The central business district, the central business district, the central business district, the central business district, the central business district, the central business district.
