While The City Sleeps

[EDDIE]
While the city sleeps
While the streets are clear
There's a life that's happening here

While the tourist dreams
In his Statler bed
Here we're living those dreams instead

Well, the clan has gathered
Put a Stan Getz record on
Send the judge for pizza
When the last anchovy's gone
Then it's dawn

While the city sleeps
When the air is still
Life can bring you that secret thrill
While the city sleeps
While the city sleeps

While the city sleeps
When it's after four
Conversation means so much more

When the Scarsdale squares
All have said their prayers
We receive what they're praying for

Well, the juice is flowing
Hear the native drums begin
Bossa Nova going
Hey, your lordship, where you been?
Stagger in

While the city sleeps
When the air is still
Life can bring you that secret thrill
While the city sleeps
While the city sleeps
While the city sleeps
