City That Never Sleeps

Intro: A  E  

A                   D 
Old man, young man, preacher saying amen
A                      E
Taking up collections, playing on the bass drum
A            G          E         A      D 
How come the city never sleeps at night?

A                    D 
Red cars, blue cars, payment overdue cars
A                      E
Cops with indigestion, millionaires and sun bums
A            G          E         A      D
How come the city never sleeps at night?

Short girls, tall girls, happy that they?re all girls
Walking with tonight?s love, holding hands and then sung
How come the city never sleeps at night?

Good guys, bad guys, win and place show guys
Losers with their hands out, pigeons begging bread crumbs  
How come the city never sleeps at night?

Long nights, short nights, bungalows and goodnights
Dreams and conversations, not a single holmium
How come the city never sleeps at night?
