Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down. Down on the street Down Down on the street Down. Down on the street Down Down on the street Down. Down on the street Down Down on the street Down. Tonight's the night we've waited for The time to sing and dance like never before. The street's alive with such a carnival air An all night dancing party everywhere. You and I We're happy to be just a part of this crazy scene. Down on the street Down Down on the street Down. Down on the street Down Down on the street Down. Tonight's the night you'll never forget The best time in your life that you'll ever get. New lovers meet as they dance through the night The moonlight falls on this magical sight. You and I We're happy to be just a part of this crazy scene. Down on the street Down Down on the street Down. You and I We're happy to be just a part of this crazy scene. Down on the street Down Down on the street Down. Down on the street Down Down on the street Down. Down on the street Down Down on the street Down.
