[Chorus]
Up all night, ooh, I was up all night
Up all night, ooh, staying up all night
Up all night, ooh, I was up all night
Up all night, ooh, staying up all night
[Verse 1]
African jungle
Big city street
The only real difference
Is in the people you meet
[Chorus]
Up all night, ooh, I was up all night
Up all night, ooh, staying up all night
Up all night, ooh, I was up all night
Up all night, ooh, staying up all night
[Verse 2]
It's an agreeable town
It's neat and sedate
Why even the muggers
Get off the streets by eight
[Chorus]
Up all night, ooh, I was up all night
Up all night, ooh, staying up all night
Up all night, ooh, I was up all night
Up all night, ooh, staying up all night
[Bridge]
Say it ain't so, Joe
Say it ain't so, Joe
Oh no, no, no no
[Verse 3]
Polite and well spoken
Well heeded and well sane
They know they're alive
When they start to feel pain
[Chorus]
Up all night, ooh, I was up all night
Up all night, ooh, staying up all night
Up all night, ooh, I was up all night
Up all night, ooh, staying up all night
[Chorus]
Up all night, ooh, I was up all night
Up all night, ooh, staying up all night
Up all night, ooh, I was up all night
Up all night, ooh, staying up all night
