Your Latest Trick

Lyrics

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 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 the 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
 ♪
 Well, now it's past last call for alcohol
 Past recall has been here and gone
 The landlord he finally paid us all
 The satin jazz men 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
