Donald Fagen The Nightfly Lyrics

The Nightfly Lyrics

I'm Lester the Nightfly

Hello Baton Rouge

Won't you turn your radio down

Respect the seven second delay we use

So you say there's a race

Of men in the trees

You're for tough legislation

Thanks for calling

I wait all night for calls like these

An independent station

WJAZ

With jazz and conversation



From the foot of Mt. Belzoni

Sweet music

Tonight the night is mine

Late line till the sun comes through the skylight



I've got plenty of java

And Chesterfield Kings

But I feel like crying

I wish I had a heart like ice

Heart like ice

If you want your honey

To look super swell

You must spring for that little blue jar

Patton's Kiss And Tell

Kiss And Tell

An independent station

WJAZ

With jazz and conversation



From the foot of Mt. Belzoni

Sweet music

Tonight the night is mine

Late line till the sun comes through the skylight



You'd never believe it

But once there was a time

When love was in my life

I sometiemes wonder

What happened to that flame

The answer's still the same

It was you you it was you

Tonight you're still on my mind

An independent station

WJAZ

With jazz and conversation



From the foot of Mt. Belzoni

Sweet music

Tonight the night is mine

Late line till the sun comes through the skylight
