DOWNTOWN
(Tony Hatch)
wen 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 help, 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 loose?
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 them 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

* This performance must have been extremely difficult for Marianne, as the lyrics are so very many words and her mouth is not hidden behind a microphone. To sing synchronised with the music is a work of art in itself !
