  • There's a place called Downtown
    Where the hippies all go
    And they dance the charleston
    And they do the limbo
    Yeah the hippies all go there
    'Cause they want to be seen
    It's like a room full of pictures
    It's like a psychedelic dream

    Downtown
    Let's go downtown
    Downtown at night
    Downtown
    Let's have a party
    Downtown at night

    Yeah it's right around the corner
    Up and down the hill
    When you hear the band playin'
    It's gonna give you a chill
    Give your money to the gateman
    Young blood in his eye
    Hold on to your baby
    When you slip into the sky

    Downtown
    Let's go downtown
    Downtown tonight
    Downtown
    Hear the band playin'
    Downtown all right

    Jimi's playin' in the back room
    Led Zeppelin on stage
    There's a mirror ball twirlin'
    And a note from Page
    Like a water-washed diamond
    In a river of sin
    Goin' down like a whirlpool
    When you get sucked in

    Downtown
    Let's go downtown
    Downtown tonight
    Downtown
    Hear the band playin'
    Downtown all right

    Downtown
    Let's go downtown
    Downtown tonight
    Downtown
    Let's have a party
    Downtown all right Writer/s: Neil Young
