Downtown In The 90's Lyrics by Bob Rivers

Best of Twisted Tunes Vol. 1

1997

When you're alone, you better walk in a hurry
If you have to go downtown
When you've got jewelry or a coat that is furry
It's not safe you know, downtown

Just listen to the rhythm from the boombox in the caddy
Hookers on the sidewalks looking for their sugar daddy
And winos with booze
The alleys are dark down there
You must be missing your marbles, you ought to be scared

'Cause you're downtown
A dangerous place for sure, downtown
Carry some mace when you're downtown
Muggers are waiting for you

Don't hang around or else a gang will surround you
In their Raiders clothes, downtown
Maybe you'll wander into places you shouldn't
Where they show peep shows, downtown

Just listen to the clatter of the gunshots from a Nova
You'll be in intensive care before the night is over
There's drive-bys again
Your car is not safe down there
'Cause they can strip it in minutes, including the spare

While you're downtown
Better be wary there, downtown
Cover your derriere, downtown
It's pretty scary there
(Downtown)
(Don't go downtown)

Downtown
Downtown
(Downtown, downtown)
(Downtown, downtown)
(Downtown, downtown)
(Downtown, downtown)
