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 fine
Must you get ready so slow

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, oh

Take off, take off
Take off your stay at home shoes
Break off shake off
Take 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 no one to meet

Night in the city looks pretty to me
(City, city)
Night in the city looks fine
Music comes spilling out into the street
(Music comes spilling out into the street)
Colors go waltzing in time, oh

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

Night time in the city
Night time
Night time in the city
Night time
(Night time)
Night time in the city
Night time
(Night time)
Night time in the city
Night time
(Night time)
Night time
