Downtown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Rachel:
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
Kurt:
Just (Ooh) listen to the music of the traffic in the city
(Ooh) Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
(Ooh) How can you lose?
Kurt and Sam:
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
Rachel: So go
Rachel (and Kurt, Sam, Blaine, and Artie):
(Downtown) things'll be great when you're
(Downtown) no finer place for sure
(Downtown) everything's waiting for you
(Downtown, downtown)
Blaine:
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Kurt:
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close, downtown
Artie:
Just (Ooh) listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
(Ooh) You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
(Ooh) Happy again
Artie, Sam and Rachel:
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
Rachel (and Kurt, Sam, Artie, and Blaine):
(Downtown) where all the lights are bright
(Downtown) waiting for you tonight
(Downtown) you're gonna be all right now
Rachel and Blaine
Downtown... (Downtown)
Rachel:
Downtown!
Rachel and Blaine:
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-a-oh) Downtown
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-a-oh)
Rachel: Ba-dap-baw!
Downtown
Blaine:
And (Oooh) you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Rachel:
(Oooh) Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
(Oooh) Guide them along
Artie, Sam, and Rachel:
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go
Rachel (and Kurt, Sam, Artie, and Blaine):
(Downtown) things'll be great when you're
(Downtown) don't wait a minute for
(Downtown) everything's waiting for you
Kurt, Sam, Blaine, and Artie:
Downtown (Downtown)
Downtown
Rachel: Downtown
Downtown (Downtown)
Kurt, Sam, Rachel, Blaine, and Artie:
Downtown!
