night

       PEOPLE

        Quite a party we have found
        Mantovani flooding the lounge
        Polite people, crazy feet
        Night people... funky but neat

        Burt Bacarach... a zillion strings
        cool aromatic... luxury surroundings
        See no evil... cheat cheat
        Night people, funky but neat

        Mr. Cavendish... meets Elizabeth
        What happens is none of my business
        Quite legal... short and sweet
        Night people, funky but neat

        Stereo heapdphones... whisper and shout
        Invisible saxaphones fade in and out
        Like treacle... tacky but sweet...
        Night people, funky but neat

        Twilight restaurants... you get it on a plate
        No matter what you want...
        but you've got to wait

        Don't get the needle... and never speak
        Night people, funky but neat

        I like the nightlife... give me danger
        I had a nice wife... she was a stranger
        One of the people, I never meet
        Night people, funky but neat

        Quite a party we have found...
        Mazaratti’s, Afghan Hounds
        The right people... the wrong street
        Night people, funky but neat
