[G]
[D]
[G]
Light up, light up, light up your lazy blue eyes
Moons up, nights up, taking the town by [D]
[Am] [G] surprise
Night time, night time, they left an hour ago
City lifetime, must you get ready so soon
There are places to come from and places to go
Night in the city looks pretty to me
Night in the city looks fine
[C] Music [G] comes peeling out into the street
Colors both flashing [D] in [Am] time
[G] Take off, take off, take off your stay at home shoes
[C] [G] Break off, shake off, chase off those stay at home [Am]
[G] blues
Stairway, stairway, down to the crowds in the street
[C] They [G] 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 peeling out into the street
Colors both flashing [Dm] in time
[Am]
[G]
