Downtown

Yes I could stay home, I could read a book or two
 I could try to get a little bit better at some of the bad things that I do
 but the night is young. So I'm out for a little while
 I'm gonna put on my hat and coat and pants and boots and my smile.
 'N' I'm gonna go downtown tonight
 All around the town,
 checkin' out all the sights.
 I'll be back in the morning
 Feelin' bad or good
 Gonna do what I want and I ain't gonna what I should.
 Well, now, if you ever checked it out you know jus' what I mean
 There's always a few surprises in that same old scene
 You might meet some fella who can really blow the horn
 Make you glad for a change you done got born.
 Don't you wanna go downtown tonight?
 Uptown, downtown, all aroun' the town,
 checkin' out all the little sights.
 So we'll be back in the mornin'
 Feelin' bad or good
 I do what I want and I don't do what I should.
 Some of the people that I meet they say they love the mountains best
 When I look around in the city I jus' see one big wilderness
 Squirrels are writin' tickets, dolphins drivin' cars
 Globefish blowin' tubas, grizzly bears in the bars
 'N' I gonna go downtown tonight
 I'm gonna go all aroun' the town
 I'm gonna check out all the sights
 I'll be back in the mornin'
 Feelin' bad or good
 I do what I want and I don't do what I should.
 Yeah, oh but I might get lucky, I might run into my friend Jane
 Walk to her apartment in the sooty city rain
 Put on a little record, gonna be so long and tall
 I'm a-gonna be the wallpaper, Jane'gonna be the wall
 'N' I wanna go downtown tonight
 I wanna go all aroun' the town
 Wanna check out all the sights.
 I'll be back in the mornin'
 Feelin' bad or good
 Gonna do what I want and I don't do what I should.
 Ain't you ever known that magic hour just before the dawn
 When the morning is still sleepy but the night is not yet gone?
 And you're walking home from some little joint with somebody you love
 With the moon and the stars and the bells and the birds all ring-a ding-a
 dong-a up above?
 Don't you wanna go downtown, tonight?
 Let's go downtown tonight
 Let's go all aroun' the town
 Let's go check out all the sights
 An' we be back in the mornin'
 Feelin' bad or good
 I do what I want and I don't do what I should.
