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!
