Downtown (Verse) (Chorus) (Same sequence for all verses and choruses) Montclaire de Havelin doin' the St. Vitus dance, lookin' for someone to chop the lumber in his pants, How am I gonna unload all of this ice and all this mink All the traffic in the street but it's so hard to think, Goin' downtown, downtown, down. Goin' downtown, down. Frankie's wearin' lipstick Pierre Cardin, I swear to God I seen him holdin' hands with Jimmy Bond, Sally's high on crank and hungry for some sweets, she's fem in the sheets but she's butch in the streets, Goin' downtown, downtown, down. Goin' downtown, down. It's the cool of the evening the Sun's goin' down, I want to hold you in my arms I wanna push you around, I want to break your bottle and spill out all your charms, come on baby we'll set off all the burglar alarms, Goin' downtown, downtown, down. Goin' downtown, down.
