Donald Fagen — The Nightfly

[Verse 1: Fagen] 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 [Chorus] An independent station WJAZ With jazz and conversation From the foot of Mt. Belzoni Sweet music Tonight the night is mine Late line 'til the sun (til' the sun) comes through the skyline [Verse 2: Fagen] I've got plenty of java And Chesterfield Kings But I feel like crying I wish I had a heart of ice A 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 [Chorus] An independent station WJAZ With jazz and conversation From the foot of Mt. Belzoni Sweet music Tonight the night is mine Late line 'til the sun (til' the sun) comes through the skyline [Bridge: Fagen] 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, it was you Tonight you're still on my mind [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] An independent station WJAZ With jazz and conversation From the foot of Mt. Belzoni Sweet music Tonight the night is mine Late line 'til the sun (til' the sun) comes through the skyline
