Lyrics

[J.J.] The street is talkin', Sidney Each night, I do my rounds I listen to it talk The bouncers, the whores The doormen at their doors The songbirds who scat The chic who checks your hat The whispers are whisperin' They hiss and they coo The street is talkin', Sidney [COMPANY] Street is talkin', Sidney [J.J.] Tonight, it's talkin' to you [COMPANY] Welcome to the night You've been expected And you're such a pretty sight We heard a rumor You was nippin' at the bait Flirtin' with your fate [J.J. & COMPANY] We're gonna getcha' started [COMPANY] Welcome to the dark Learn the advantages Of swimmin' with a shark You're lookin' eager In that thirty dollar suit Tossin' off a cute remark [J.J. & (COMPANY)] Tell me, Sidney, where ya' been? (Where ya' been?) You've been nowhere at all (Nowhere at all) Always outside, lookin' in So come on inside (Come on inside) Across the divide (Across the divide) Come on inside (Come on in, come on in, come on inside) [COMPANY] Sidney's got a friend [SIDNEY] What a friend I got! [COMPANY] Don't even wonder What your friend here may attend [SIDNEY] Why me? [J.J., spoken] Why not? [COMPANY] You're not an angel And he's pickin' up the tab Grab what you can grab tonight Welcome to the night [J.J.] Just like that! [COMPANY] I got a dollar Says your future's lookin' bright [J.J.] Right off the bat! [COMPANY] We get excited With the {???} has a cub Welcome to the club! Welcome to the night (The street is talkin', Sidney) Welcome to the night (It's talkin' to you) Sidney, welcome to the night!
