CITY LIGHTS, ARE SUCH LONELY LIGHTS,
WHEN YOUR BABY’S FAR AWAY
CARPETS WALL TO WALL, TROPHYS EVERYWHERE,
BIG MAN AT HIS DESK, SITTING IN HIS CHAIR,
THE EXECUTIVE, THE EXECUTIVE,
BIG WHEEL, BIG DEAL, BIG MAN, BIG PLANS, THAT’S ME
LONG TIME AGO I LEFT YOU AND SWORE I WOULD MAKE GOOD,
JUST TO PROVE THAT I COULD
I WORKED, AND SLAVED FOR SUCCESS, AND AT LAST I HAVE MADE GOOD,
LIKE I SAID I WOULD,
THE EXECUTIVE, THE EXECUTIVE,
BIG WHEEL, BIG DEAL, BIG MAN, BIG PLANS, THAT’S ME
BUT WHEN FIVE O’CLOCK ROLLS AROUND,
I’M THE LONELIEST MAN IN TOWN,
CAUSE I MISS YOU, OH HOW I MISS YOU,
CITY LIGHTS, ARE SUCH LONELY LIGHTS,
WHEN YOUR BABY’S FAR AWAY
THE EXECUTIVE, THE EXECUTIVE,
BIG WHEEL, BIG DEAL, BIG MAN, THAT’S NOT FOR ME,
CAUSE I MISS YOU, OH HOW I MISS YOU, CAN’T MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU,
OH BABY I NEED YOU, ETC.
