Night Market Lanterns, Last Call

Lyrics

Paper lanterns swinging over every busy stall
Vendors calling out like they're singing to us all
Skewers on the grill with the smoke in the air
Bubble tea in my hand and a sweet tooth to spare
Shouting for a bargain, haggling with a grin
Aunty throws a freebie in, she lets the fun begin
Crowd is moving like a river, shoulder-to-shoulder flow
Feel the whole street pulsing with a warm neon glow

Last call, last call
Everybody's coming for the sweet night's thrall

Night market lanterns, last call, last call
Light them up, light them up, party for us all
Grab a little something, share a little more
Dance between the stalls on the sticky floor
Night market lanterns, last call, hey
One more song before they pack away

Grandpa with the gadgets and the lucky-dip prize
Kid with a goldfish and the wonder in his eyes
Fried dough sugar on my sleeve and my chin
Friends in a line and the night's just begun
Neon on the puddles like a painter's wet brush
Laughing in the lantern light, no one in a rush
Sellers wink and wave when they know you're a regular
Every little corner is a story, so peculiar

Last call, last call
Everybody's coming for the sweet night's thrall

Night market lanterns, last call, last call
Light them up, light them up, party for us all
Grab a little something, share a little more
Dance between the stalls on the sticky floor
Night market lanterns, last call, hey
One more song before they pack away

Clap your hands, clap your hands, to the lantern beat
Move your feet, move your feet, down the glowing street
Stalls are closing, shutters sliding down
But the glow stays with us all through town

Night market lanterns, last call, last call
Light them up, light them up, party for us all
Grab a little something, share a little more
Dance between the stalls on the sticky floor
Night market lanterns, last call, hey
One more song before they pack away

Last call, last call
Lanterns glowing for us all
