While The City Sleeps (from "Golden Boy")

While the city sleeps

While the streets are clear

There's a life that's happening here

While the tourist dreams

In his Statler bed

Here we're living those dreams instead

Well the clan has gathered

Put a Stan Getz record on

Send the judge for pizza

When the last anchovy's gone

Then it's dawn

While the city sleeps

While the air is still

Life can bring you that secret thrill

While the city sleeps

While the city sleeps

While the city sleeps

When it's after four

Conversation means so much more

When the Scarsdale squares

All have said their prayers

We receive what they're praying for

Well the juice is flowing

Hear the native drums begin

Bossa Nova going

Hey your lordship where you been

Stagger in

While the city sleeps

While the air is still

Life can bring you that secret thrill

While the city sleeps

While the city sleeps

While the city sleeps

While the city sleeps
