All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
Prehistoric garbage trucks
Got the city to themselves
Echoes and roars dinosaur
They're all doing the monster mash
And taxis and the whores
Are only taking calls for cash
Don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
All I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
And my door was standing open
Security were laid back and lax
Yeah, my heart had gotten broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
It was robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
I never did have the intelligence to use
Twelve keys hanging off my chain
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
It's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
Landlord, he finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And I'm standing outside of this wonderland
Bereaved and bereft
Finally come to understand
Bottle's empty, man, there's nothing left
Don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
All I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
