All the late night bargains have been struck
F#mi H A/C# H C#
Between the satin beaus and their belles
F#mi
And prehistoric garbage trucks
D13
Have the city to themselves

Echoes roars dinosaurs
F#mi H A/C# H/Es C#/E#
They're all doing the monster mash
F#mi
And most of the taxis and most ofthe whores

Are only taking calls for cash, mmm

It all took place so quick

But all I can do

is hand it to you

And your latest trick
My door was standing open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off my chain
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But now all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
