| Song No. 7 "Downtown" | |||||||||||||
| WWords and Music by Tony Hatch | |||||||||||||
| In 1961 English singer Petula Clark married a Frenchman and moved to Paris, finding there a success that had eluded her for years back home. In fact, she was about to give up recording in English altogether. Then recording producer Hatch brought three songs to France, hoping to lure her back to his studio. When she was unmoved by them, in desperation he played a new melody he had just composed, called "Downtown," inspired by a trip to New York. "Write a lyric and I'll do it," said Petula. Her recording sold more that 3 million copies. |

| Lyrics 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 Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty How can you lose? The lights are much brighter there You can forget all your troubles Forget all your cares So go Downtown Things'll be great when you're Downtown No finer place, for sure Downtown Everything's waiting for you... |
