I’m so tired of working every day,

Now the weekend’s come I’m gonna throw my troubles away,

If you’ve got the cab fare, mister, you’ll do all right,

I want to see the bright lights tonight.

Meet me at the station don’t be late,
I need to spend some money and it just won’t wait,

Take me to the dance and hold me tight,
I want to see the bright lights tonight.

There’s crazy people running all over town,

There’s a silver band just marching up and down,

And the big boys are all spoilng for a fight,

I want to see the bright lights tonight.

Meet me at the station don’t be late,
I need to spend some money and it just won’t wait,

Take me to the dance and hold me tight,
I want to see the bright lights tonight.

A couple of drunken Santas rolling on the floor,

Are just the kind of mess I’m looking for.

I’m gonna dream till Monday comes in sight.

I want to see the bright lights tonight.

Meet me at the station don’t be late,
I need to spend some money and it just won’t wait,

Take me to the dance and hold me tight,
I want to see the bright lights tonight.

I want to see the bright lights tonight.

I want to see the bright lights tonight.
