Senseless
Invitations to my party
Send Jones an inviting card
He got his mean streak from the gutter
Got his kindness from God
Now tugboats paint the river
Carry coal to the city and white dock liners
Happiness on the uptown side
Of my party in the morning tide
Ooh la la la blackpatch
Ooh la la la blackpatch
In blackpatch, in blackpatch.
Clothes spin on washropes
Window to window tie
Socks and bells and nightgowns
Tassels in the morning sky.
People all ready, ready
Ready ready,
Ready ready,
Ready ready,
I've been trying, I've been

NIGHT IN THE CITY
Light up light up
Light up your lazy blue eyes
Moon's up nights up
Taking the town by surprise
Night time night time
Day left an hour ago
City light time
Must you get ready so slow
There are places to come from and places to go
Night in the city looks pretty to me
Night in the city looks fine
Music comes spilling out into the street
Colors go flashing in time
Take off take off
Take off your stay-at-home shoes
Break off shake off
Chase off those stay-at-home blues
Stairway stairway
Down to the crowds in the street
They go their way
Looking for faces to greet
But we run on laughing with no one to meet
Night in the city looks pretty to me
Night in the city looks fine
Music comes spilling out into the street
Colors go waltzing in time
