[Verse 1]
When shadows beckon on dim-lit avenues
Night people hear the call
From hidden alleys, and secret rendezvous
They come out one and all
[Chorus]
The city by night eyes wide awake
It never sleeps make no mistake
[Verse 2]
Whatever sets off the spark
A magic glow lights the dark
Then I'm intrigued by the sight
Of the city by night
Those crowded nightclubs
Those picturesque cafes
Are scenes no-one forgets
And I'm enchanted, music softly plays
By dancing silhouettes
[Chorus]
The city by night eyes wide awake
It never sleeps make no mistake
[Verse 3]
The evening's full of surprise
It's magic opens my eyes
And I'm intrigued by the sight
Of the city by night
[Outro]
Yeah!
When shadows beckon on dim-lit avenues
Night people hear the call
From hidden alleys, and secret rendezvous
They come out one and all
[Chorus]
The city by night eyes wide awake
It never sleeps make no mistake
[Verse 2]
Whatever sets off the spark
A magic glow lights the dark
Then I'm intrigued by the sight
Of the city by night
Those crowded nightclubs
Those picturesque cafes
Are scenes no-one forgets
And I'm enchanted, music softly plays
By dancing silhouettes
[Chorus]
The city by night eyes wide awake
It never sleeps make no mistake
[Verse 3]
The evening's full of surprise
It's magic opens my eyes
And I'm intrigued by the sight
Of the city by night
[Outro]
Yeah!
