Night in the City

Light up, light up
Light up your lazy blue eyes
Moon's up nights up
Takin' the town by surprise

Night time, night time
Day left an hour ago
City light time
Must you get ready so slow
There are places to come from and places to go

Night in the city looks pretty to me
Night in the city looks fine
Music comes spilling out into the street
Colours go flashing in time

Take off, take off
Take off your stay-at-home shoes
Shake off brake off
Chase off those stay-at-home blues

Stairway, stairway
Down to the crowds in the street
They go their way
Looking for faces to greet
But we run on laughing with no one to meet

Night in the city looks pretty to me
Night in the city looks fine
Music comes spilling out into the street
Colours go flashing in time

Night in the city looks pretty to me
Night in the city looks fine
Music comes spilling out into the street
Colours go waltzing in time
