Lyrics
Late summer evening, sun hangs low Everybody's out, nowhere to go Kids on bikes and grandmas too Gold light dancing on the avenue Dance till the streetlamps come Hey, hey, dance till the streetlamps come Summer evening, one more song Dance till the streetlamps come Bring a chair and bring a friend Don't let the long light end Trumpet blowing down the street Tap your toes and shuffle your feet Dance till the streetlamps come Hey, hey, dance till the streetlamps come Summer evening, one more song Dance till the streetlamps come Sun sinks low, clap your hands Everybody understands One more step and one more spin Let the warm night in Dance till the streetlamps come Hey, hey, dance till the streetlamps come Summer evening, one more song Dance till the streetlamps come Dance till the streetlamps come Hey!
