THE DOWNTOWN SONG
Oh your mamma said don't stay out of bounds
And your TV said you gotta burn your pounds
Oh your mirror said "don't get too high"
But when the sirens call, ain’t long before you drown

Oh your baby said she'll love you
And she told you, oh, to go downtown
Her sweet sweet lip said...
'Oh won't you take me, take me, take me... that down'

Oh the beggar said "oh ground sweet ground..."
And the Queen moans about her crown
Oh your mirror said "don't get too high"
But when the sirens call, ain’t long before you drown

Oh your baby said she'll love you
But she told you, oh, to go back down
Her trembling voice said...
Please don't take me, take me, take me... that down
