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 hurry
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 will 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
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a 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
So go downtown
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
Waiting for you tonight, downtown
You're gonna be alright now, downtown
Downtown
Downtown
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
So go downtown
Things will be great when you're downtown
Don't wait a minute more, downtown
Everything is waiting for you, downtown
Downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown)

Lovely. She’s cute, nice modest dress. Understandable and G-rated lyrics. Those were the good old days.

Plenty of bad stuff going on then too. We just rather remember the good things.

Plenty of bad stuff going on then too. We just rather remember the good things. I remember reading about heroin addicts in Reader's Digest in 1963 or '64. I was in elementary school, and the story disturbed me greatly; I couldn't get it off my mind. It was well written and vivid, describing a couple who lived in NYC and who were both addicts.

Believe it or not, heroin is still a problem today in various parts of Manhattan, including the section I was born and raised in, the Lower East Side. We moved from there to Queens in 1970.

Petula Clark was more than a treat. My favorite female of the British invasion persuasion, though, was Dusty Springfield.
My favorite female vocalist of that era and, maybe, for all time, was Judith Durham (The Seekers).
Priceless is also timeless.

Do you remember Dusty Springfield singing “Johhny One Time”?
Awesome voice!
Also love Pet Clark singing “Kiss me Goodbye”

Durham best ever. Even over lots of before and later. Ronnie Spechter might be better.
