Gonna Walk Downtown

You’ve been busy, baby
Watchin’ too much CNN
You’re such a shut-in
Andy Cooper now is your best friend

Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk until those Alameda lights turn me around

You’ve got problems,man?
You ought to try my side of town
They get their back’s up
When they find out that your skin ain’t brown

Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk until those Alameda lights turn me around
Gonna walk downtown

You’ll get your wish, come get your kicks, you’ll get your wish

You know you’re crazy
When the narco-tecture’s in your blood
I’d decorate it for you, baby
If I only could

Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk with my head up high and my feet on the ground

Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk downtown
C’mon walk downtown
