The Nightfly

Lyrics

I'm Lester the nightfly
 Hello Baton Rouge
 Won't you turn your radio down
 Respect the seven second delay we use
 So you say there's a race
 Of men in the trees
 You're for tough legislation
 Thanks for calling
 I wait all night for calls like these
 An independent station
 WJAZ
 With jazz and conversation
 From the foot of Mt. Belzoni
 Sweet music
 Tonight the night is mine
 Late line
 Till the sun comes through the skylight
 I've got plenty of java
 And Chesterfield Kings
 But I feel like crying
 I wish I had a heart like ice
 Heart like ice
 If you want your honey
 To look super swell
 You must spring for that little blue jar
 Patton's kiss and tell
 Kiss and tell
 An independent station
 WJAZ
 With jazz and conversation
 From the foot of Mt. Belzoni
 Sweet music
 Tonight the night is mine
 Late line
 Till the sun comes through the skylight
 You'd never believe it
 But once there was a time
 When love was in my life
 I sometimes wonder
 What happened to that flame
 The answer's still the same
 It was you, you
 It was you
 Tonight you're still on my mind
 ♪
 An independent station
 WJAZ
 With jazz and conversation
 From the foot of Mt. Belzoni
 Sweet music
 Tonight the night is mine
 Late line
 Till the sun comes through the skylight
