| 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 |
