When shadows beckon on dim-lit avenues

Night people hear the call

From hidden alleys, secret rendezvous

They come out one and all

The city by night I'm wide awake

It never sleeps make no mistake

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

The city by night I'm wide awake

It never sleeps make no mistake

The evening's full of surprise

It's magic opens my eyes

And I'm intrigued by the sight

Of the city by night

Yeah!
