| See I got me a cab by the side of the road
|
| Then I’m new in town, where should I go
|
| Downtown is the place to speak
|
| The music’s gon' be playing till quarter to three
|
| When you’ll see people hanging around
|
| You’ll see who put the down in downtown
|
| Ain’t no need to worry
|
| They gonna play it down and dirty
|
| My friends all told me about this band they had seen
|
| At this little old place down in New Orleans
|
| You gotta go downtown by the riverside
|
| The joy’s gonna be jumping out to about quarter to five
|
| Well, you’ll see people hanging around
|
| You’ll see who put the down in downtown
|
| There’s no need to worry, baby, no, no, no
|
| Play it down and dirty
|
| When you’ll see people hanging around
|
| You’ll see who put the down in downtown
|
| Don’t you worry 'bout a thing, no, no, no
|
| They gon' make it jump this way |
