[Verse 1]
Oh the neons are a gleaming and the gamblers are a dreaming
Oh it's night life, yeah! night life
The chips are a spilling and it's time to make a killing
Oh it's night life, yeah! night life
Oh the pockets are a-burning and the money flies
With dice roll a-turning and you'll hit snakes eyes
You can't be a quitter when you're caught up in the glitter of
Night life night life
[Verse 2]
There're long legged women who will take you for a trimming yes it's night life
Oh night life
Their lips taste like honey but they're out to spend your money
Yes it's night life. Oh yeah!
Just roll that seven and you'll hear them shriek
When seven come eleven it's a lucky streak
You can't beat the drama, the excitement and the glamour
Of the night life, I said that night life
[Verse 3]
So place your bet, come on make your play
Though you may regret it at the break of day
I said you can't be a quitter when you're caught up in the glitter of
Night life night life
Yeah! that night life, good old night life
Night life, yes, yes, night life, oh night life
Oh the neons are a gleaming and the gamblers are a dreaming
Oh it's night life, yeah! night life
The chips are a spilling and it's time to make a killing
Oh it's night life, yeah! night life
Oh the pockets are a-burning and the money flies
With dice roll a-turning and you'll hit snakes eyes
You can't be a quitter when you're caught up in the glitter of
Night life night life
[Verse 2]
There're long legged women who will take you for a trimming yes it's night life
Oh night life
Their lips taste like honey but they're out to spend your money
Yes it's night life. Oh yeah!
Just roll that seven and you'll hear them shriek
When seven come eleven it's a lucky streak
You can't beat the drama, the excitement and the glamour
Of the night life, I said that night life
[Verse 3]
So place your bet, come on make your play
Though you may regret it at the break of day
I said you can't be a quitter when you're caught up in the glitter of
Night life night life
Yeah! that night life, good old night life
Night life, yes, yes, night life, oh night life
