text: Downtown
  My darling dime store thief
  In the War of Independence
  Rock n roll rang sweet as victory
  Under neon signs
  A girl was in bloom
  And a woman was fading
  In a suburban room
  I said take me to the dance
  Do you want to dance?
  I love to dance
  And I told him
  They dont take chances
  They seem so removed from romance
  Theyve been broken in churches & schools
  And molded to middle class circumstance
  And we were rollin
  Rollin
  Rock n rollin
  Downtown
  The dance halls and cafes
  Feel so wild you could break somebodys heart
  Just doing the latest dance craze
  Gail and Louise
  In those push up brassieres
  Tight dresses and rhinestone rings
  Drinking up the bands beers
  Young love was kissing under bridges
  Kissing in cars
  Kissing in cafes
  And we were walking down Main Street
  Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays
  In France they kiss on Main Street
  Amour, mama, not cheap display
  And we were rollin
  Rollin
  Rock n rollin
  Downtown
  In the pinball arcade
  With his head full of pool hall pitches
  And songs from the hit parade
  Hed be singing Bye, Bye, Love
  While hes racking up his free play
  Let those rock n roll choir boys
  Come and carry us away
  Sometimes Chickie had the car
  Or Ron had the car
  Or Lead Foot Melvin with his hotwire head
  Wed all go looking for a party
  Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead
  And Id be kissing in the back seat
  Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said
  And wed be rollin
  Rollin
  Rock n rolling
  Rollin
  Rollin
  Rock n rollin
  Rollin
  Rollin
  Rock n rollin
