Oh mommy mommy

Oh mommy mommy, yeah

I stood too near the gaslight

And I cried

The dirty city mist

Had seeped too deep inside

It took me on some kind

Of heady ride

They told me Charlie Parker died

And I don't want the night to end

And I don't want the night to end





Oh daddy daddy

Oh daddy daddy

Waiting half my life

On platforms underground

The other half I wasted

As a desperate clown

My problem now is

That you're not around

In dark delicious dreams of you

I'll drown

And I don't want the night to end 



Oh baby baby

Oh baby baby

Wrapped around your soul

Is where I wanna be

But in the night blue music's

All I seem to see

The drunks out in the rain

Down on one knee

And what is to become

Of you and me

And I don't want the night to end
