Steve Russell Goin' Downtown Lyrics

[LITTLE ALBERT AND THE TRU-TONES:]
Me and my baby going downtown

[JAMES "THUNDER" EARLY:] Marty? Marty!
I said no mayonnaise!
How many times have I told you no mayonnaise on the chicken sandwich?

[MARTY:] ...Thousands, Jimmy. Now eat it.

[JAMES] "THUNDER" EARLY: I'm forced to baby, 'cause I'm starving.

MARTY:] You've got a bigger problem. Charlene and Joanne just walked.

[JAMES "THUNDER" EARLY:] Just walked? Just walked!
They can't do that to Jimmy! I need backup!

[MARTY:] Yeah, you do.
And not only for tonight...what about the ten week tour starting tomorrow?

[JAMES "THUNDER" EARLY:] Marty, you got ten minutes to deliver, or else.

[MARTY:] Jimmy...you've already gone through every girl on the circuit.
I warned you to lay off the women you work with!
You got plenty of other women out there.

[JAMES "THUNDER" EARLY:] There sure are, but who's got time to go out lookin'!
I'm always workin'!

[MARTY:] Yeah...'cause Marty always keeps you working.

[LITTLE ALBERT AND THE TRU-TONES:] Check, check, checking it out!
Checking it over
Checking it out
Checking it over Checking it out
I'm....Checking it over
Checking it out... [continuing in background]

[DEENA JONES:] Oh no...no! They have the same wigs we have!

[LORRELL ROBINSON:] We're ruined unless we can find new wigs.

[EFFIE WHITE:] Why do we need wigs in the first place?

[DEENA JONES:] Because, we need a look...I got it! ...Turn the wigs around.

[LORRELL ROBINSON:] ...What?

[DEENA JONES:] Turn the wigs around!

[LORRELL ROBINSON:] Oh Deena, it's so...different.

[DEENA JONES:] It's sophisticated-looking.

[EFFIE WHITE:] Front-ways or back-ways, wigs ain't natural.
And what about these dresses?
I mean, this dress does NOTHING for my body.

[DEENA JONES:] Effie, my mama spent three weeks sewing up these dresses.
Shoot, they helped us win that contest in Chicago.

[EFFIE WHITE:] Big deal, so we won three albums we already had.

[C.C. WHITE:]
I'm going downstairs now, and hand this music out to the guys in the pit.

[DEENA JONES:] Hey, C.C., do you really think we're gonna win?

[C.C. WHITE:] ...We're gonna win.

[EFFIE, DEENA, and LORRELL shout about how they're going to win]

[LITTLE ALBERT AND THE TRU-TONES:] We're going downtown!
To check check check out the sights!

[ANNOUNCER:] Let's hear it for Little Albert and the Tru-Tones!
Weren't they fabulous? Now, put your hands together for Tiny Joe Dixon!

[DEENA:] Oh, we're next!
