Boomtown Rats - Up All Night lyrics

rate me

Up all night

Ooh za za

Ooh staying up all night

African jungle

Big city street

The only real difference is in

The people you meet

Up all night

Ooh za za

Ooh staying up all night

It's an agreeable town

It's neat and sedate

Why even the muggers are off

The streets by eight

Up all night

Ooh za za

Ooh staying up all night

Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so you cocksucker Joe

Polite and well spoken

Well heeded and well sane

They know they're alive

When they start to feel pain

You're staying up all night

Ooh za za

Ooh staying up all night

Up all night

Ooh za za

Ooh staying up all night

Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so Joe

Big city jungle

African street

The only real difference is in

The people they meet
