Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
E Emaj7
There are movie shows
A/E B/E
Downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close
Downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle Bossa Nova
You'll be dancing with 'em 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
[Chorus]
Downtown
Where all the lights are bright
Downtown
Waiting for you tonight

You're gonna be all right now
