When I look around
What’s the music, what’s the sound?
Downtown.

Then I realize
People need a big surprise
Downtown.

Sentimental songs
You can play them all day long
Downtown.

Don’t you wait too long
Here’s a brand new rock and roll song.

Do you wanna play my rock and roll song?
Do you wanna play my song all day long?
It’s going up and down
Around and around
Together
Do you wanna play my rock and roll song?
Do you wanna play my song all day long?
And swinging high and high
To feel like a fly
Round and around.

All young people say
There’s nothing new today
Downtown.

In the music hall
They don’t really swing at all
Downtown.

Wake up, everyone
Come on, dance and have some fun
Downtown.

Don’t you wait too long
Here’s a brand new rock and roll song.

Do you wanna play my rock and roll song?
Do you wanna play my song all day long?
It’s going up and down
Around and around
Together
Do you wanna play my rock and roll song?
Do you wanna play my song all day long?
And swinging high and high
To feel like a fly
Round and around.

And the lovers won’t be kissing
And the dreamers they won’t dream
Realizing they we’re missing
Jumping and jiving and rocking along.

And get up
Do you wanna play my rock and roll song?
Do you wanna play my song all day long?
It’s going up and down
Around and around
Together
Do you wanna play my rock and roll song?
Do you wanna play my song all day long?
And swinging high and high
To feel like a fly
Round and around.
