Donald Fagen - The Nightfly lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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
