Downtown / Uptown – Barry Manilow (originally by Petula Clark / The Crystals)

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 hurries 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 so go Downtown Things’ll be great when you’re Downtown No finer place for sure Downtown Everything’s waiting for you
Or you can go Uptotwn each everning To my tenement Uptown where folks Don’t have to pay much rent And when you’re there with me
You can see That you’re everything The world is sweet It’s at your feet If you’re uptown
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 And you will find somebody Who will help and understand you Someone who is just like you And needs a helping 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 (Uptown to my…) Things’ll be great when you’re Downtown (Uptown…) No finer place for sure
And when you’re there with me You can see That you’re everything
Downtown The world is sweet It’s at his feet When your… Downtown…
