All the late night bargains have been struck   Between the satin beaus and their belles   Prehistoric garbage trucks   Have the city to themselves      Echoes roars dinosaurs   They're all doing the monster mash   And most of the taxis, most of the whores   Are only taking calls for cash      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      Well now my door was standing open   Security were laid back and lax   But it was only my heart that 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 from my chain      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 he finally paid us all   The satin jazzmen have put away their horns      And we're standing outside of this wonderland   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 was faster than the eye could flick   But all I can do is hand it to you   And your latest trick
