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

Downtown
Waiting for you tonight
Downtown
You're gonna be all right now
