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.
Come on baby lets go downtown, lets go, lets go, lets go
downtown.
Come on baby let me turn you around, I'll turn you, turn you,
turn you around.
Come on baby lets go downtown, lets go, lets go, lets go
downtown.
Walk on, talk on, baby tell no lies.
Don't you be caught with fear in your eyes.
Sure enough they'll be selling stuff when the moon begins to
rise.
Ain't it bad when you're dealin' with a man and a light shines
in your eyes.
Come on baby lets go downtown, lets go, lets go, lets go
downtown.
Come on baby let me turn you around, I'll turn you, turn you,
turn you around.
Come on baby lets go downtown, lets go, lets go, lets go
downtown.
Snake Eyes, French Fries, and I got lots of gas.
Full moon and a truckin' tune, now you don't have to ask.
Sure enough they'll be selling stuff when the moon begins to
rise.
Ain't it bad when you're dealin' with a man and a light shines
in your eyes.
So, come on baby lets go downtown, lets go, lets go, lets go
downtown.
Come on baby let me turn you around, I'll turn you, turn you,
turn you around.
Come on baby lets go downtown, lets go, lets go, lets go
downtown.
Come on baby let me turn you around, I'll turn you, turn you,
turn you around.
Come on baby lets go downtown, lets go, lets go, lets go
downtown.
Come on baby let me turn you around, I'll turn you, turn you,
turn you around.
