Half Nelson-Gerry Mulligan

When you're alone and life is making you lonely You can always go downtown When you got worries, all the noise and the hurry Seems to help, I know, downtown Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city Linger on the sidewalks 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 And go downtown Things'll be great when you're downtown No finer place for sure, downtown Everything's waiting for you Don't hang around and let your problems surround you There are movie shows, downtown Or maybe you know some little places to go to Where they never close, downtown Just listen to the rhythm of the music that they're playin' Making conversation while you're on the dance floor swayin' Happy again The lights are much brighter there You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares And go downtown Where all the lights are bright, downtown Waiting for you tonight, downtown You're gonna be alright 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 You can forget all your troubles Just forget all your cares And go downtown Things'll be great when you're downtown Don't wait a minute more, downtown Everything's waiting for you Downtown, where all the lights are bright Downtown, waiting for you tonight Downtown, you're going to be alright now Get on, get on, get on downtown Fade: Downtown, where all the lights are bright Downtown, waiting for you tonight Downtown, you're going to be alright now Get on, get on, get on downtown
