The Nightfly
I'm Lester the Nightfly
Hel lo Baton Rouge
Won't you turn your rad io 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 inde pendent station
W J A Z
With jazz and con versation
From the foot of Mt. Belzoni
Sweet mu sic
To night the night is mine
Late line till the sun
(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 of 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 inde pendent station
W J A Z
With jazz and con versation
From the foot of Mt. Belzoni
Sweet mu sic
To night the night is mine
Late line till the sun
(till the sun comes
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
To night you're still on my mind
