A light shone in the night somewhere ahead | |
Blue turned into green, then it was red. | |
And, stirring the night, loud music played | |
The light | |
I saw in the night was a penny arcade. “ | |
Step up and play”, each machine seemed to say as | |
I walked round and round the penny arcade. “ | |
Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle and you’ll make all the coloured lights cascade”. | |
And music played in the penny arcade. | |
Yes, it played and it played, played all the time “ | |
Roll up and spend your last dime!” | |
At first I thought it a dream that | |
I was in. | |
Lost , lost in a sea of glass and tin. | |
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans, | |
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machines. “ | |
Step up and play”, each machine seemed to say as | |
I walked round and round the penny arcade. “ | |
Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle and you’ll make all the coloured lights cascade”. “ | |
Step up and play”, each machine seemed to say as | |
I walked round and round the penny arcade. “ | |
Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle and you’ll make all the coloured lights cascade”. “ | |
Roll up and spend your last dime!” | |
Roll up and spend your last, roll up and spend your last, roll up and spend your last dime!” |

And music played in the penny arcade. | |
Yes, it played and it played, played all the time " | |
Roll up and spend your last dime!" | |
