Dowtown, there's gonna be a fight now.....

Well maybe I'll see you there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
Downtown, things will be great when you're ,
Downtown, Don't wait a minute more
Downtown, you're gonna be alright now......

Funniest Song Lyrics:

"My Love"

The Funny Lyrics:

My love is warmer that warmest sunshine,
softer than a sigh.
my love is deeper than the deepest ocean,
wider than the sky.

Why They're Funny:

When one reads these lyrics in print, they sound like an exceedingly romantic expression of tender love. but what is funny is how petula clark is so the wrong singer for the song. she sings these romantic lines in a vindictive tone that sounds more like she's about to go ballistic and cuss somebody out than like she's expressing sweet love. she might as well be saying, "you listen to me --i love you, dammit!
