NIGHT PEOPLE
(Tommy Wolf / Fran Landesman)

as recorded by June Christy
with orchestra conducted by Bob Cooper
1959


Night people,
My love and I are night people.
We're like the restless neon light people,
The bright people.

Because we're night people,
That's what we are, we're night people.
We never cultivate the right people,
The trite people
Who are not night people.

In smokey bars
Where tinsel stars
Are still in style,
The music swings,
The night has wings
And wears a smile.

Night people,
My love and I are night people.
The darkness hides us from your sight; people
Who always run
Before the sun
Can spoil our fun,
Because we're night people.

Because we're night people,
That's what we are, we're night people.
We never cultivate the right people,
The trite people
Who are not night people.

In smokey bars
Where tinsel stars
Are still in style,
The music swings,
The night has wings
And wears a smile.

Night people,
My love and I are night people.
The darkness hides us from your sight; people
Who always run
Before the sun
Can spoil our fun,
Because we're night people.
