All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
And prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
Theyre all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis and the whores
Are only taking calls for cash

I dont know how it happened
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 Lovers Lane
And you never did have the inteligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off my chain

I dont 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 its 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 were standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottles empty and theres nothing left

I dont 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
