All the late night bargains have been struck Between the satin beans and
their bells Prehistoric garbage trucks Got the city to
themselves Echoes and the roars dinosaurs They're all doing the monster
mash And most of the taxis and the whores Are only taking calls for
cash
I don't know how it happened It all took please 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 on Lover's Lane And
you never did have the intelligence to use The twelve keys hanging off my
chain
I don't know how it happened It all took please so quick But
all I can do is hand it to you And your latest trick
Now it's past
last call far alchohol Past recall has been here and gone The landlord
sinally paid us all The satin jazzmen have put away their horns And we're
standing outside of these wonderlands Looking so bereaved and so
bereft Like a bowery bum when he finally understands The bottle's empty
and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened It all took
please so quick But all I can do is hand it to you And your latest trick
