(J.Mitchell)
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
Take off take off

Take off your stay-at-home shoes
Break off shake 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
Colors go waltzing in time
