lyrics

Orangish fading sun on the horizon
And the voice inside says to me
Step out and have some fun
Now that the workday's done
Go let the nightlife set you free

As I get dressed I hear some FM tracks
Of stereo rock and roll
I wanna dance, I'm gonna have a good time
As the night people turn on the show

(chorus)

I love the world of the night people, night people
Dancing to the beat with the night people, night people
Bright colors flashing off and on
Night people dancing to a happening song

The drummer sets the groove
You can't help but move
Clap your hands and let it flow

Stress and strain are gone
High on the bass man's tone
You're having fun so let's go

Now dig the guitar men
You know they always win
They play with so much soul

Now round it out
Let the keyboard sound out
The excitement's here let it show

Nothing takes the place of a real live band
Playing good rock and roll
I love to dance, I like to have a good time
C'mon night people let's go

(repeat chorus)
