[Verse 1]
Well, time is always money
For the boys at Union Square
Go on and bust your ass 'til doomsday
Don't forget to say your prayers
Someone's riding down the backstreet
Said papa got a brand new slack
And your baby is handcuffed on the front seat
Sit right there, boy, and you relax
Come on, honey

[Chorus]
We're all going down, down, down, downtown
Down downtown
We're going down downtown
We're going down downtown

[Verse 2]
Well, you spill out of the Cinema Fourteen
To that drag bar there on the block
Whizzin' on down in front of the East Coast
Bank rolled up on your sock
She stand right there for your pleasure
Half Puerto Rican Chinese
You got to find your baby somebody to measure
I'm gon' get me some of these, baby
Come on, honey, do you hear what I'm doing now?
[Chorus]
Down, down, down
Down, down, down downtown
Down downtown
I'm going down downtown

[Verse 3]
'Bout four in the morning on a Sunday
Sacco drinking whiskey in church
Half pint of Festival brandy
That boy 'bout to fall right off his perch
Well, that guy in the sweater's off duty
Well, he's out in front of that welfare hotel
The guy in the dress is a beauty
Go all the way, I swear you never can tell
Come on, honey, and pull up your socks

[Chorus]
Down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, downtown
Down downtown, ooh yeah
Down, down, down

[Outro]
Down, down, down
Come on, down downtown
Going down downtown
I'm going down downtown
