All the late night bargains have been struck

Between the satin beaus and their belles 
        F#m
And prehistoric garbage trucks
                D13(#11)
Have the city to themselves .

Echoes roars dinosaurs 
                   B               A            B      C#
They're all doing the monster mash .
         F#m
And most of the taxis and most of the whores
           D13(#11)
Are only taking calls for cash - mmm….

I don't know how it happened.

It all took place so quick.

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-mmm…

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 in this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing there. mmm…

I don't know how it happened.
It was faster than the eye could blink.
But now all I can do is hand it to you.
And your latest trick.


Enjoy.
