“Light up light up, light up your lazy blue eyes
Moon's up nights up taking 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
Colors go flashing in time.”
