A/F# G#7 All the Elate night bargains have been struck F#m
Between the Bsatin beausC#m7 and their belB/D#les C#7
F#m Prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the D9city to themselves
E Echoes and roars of dinosaurs F#m
They're all Bdoing the C#m7monster B/D#mash C#7
And F#mmost of the taxis and most of the whores
Are D9only taking calls for cash, mmm

You must have had a D9pass key made out of wax
You played Erobbery with insolence
And I played the F#mblues in twelve barsB down C#m7on Lovers' Lane B/D# C#7
And you F#mnever did have the intelligence to use
The twelve D9keys hanging off of my chain, mmm

Past Brecall has C#m7been here and gone B/D# C#7
The F#mlandlord, he finally paid us all
The satin D9jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're Estanding outside of this wonderland F#m
BLooking so C#m7bereaved and B/D#so bereft C#7
Like a F#mBowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's D9empty and there's nothing left, mmm
