Oh What A Night

Lyrics: Stephen Love
Music: Stephen Love

Played by the New Riders of the Purple sage in the late 1970s.

Out late last night, Twenty Second Avenue
Drinking at the other end and listening to Baby Blue
Standing at the bar, smoking cigarettes
Checking out what seemed to be some fast brunettes

But oh what a night
And I wake up
To the morning light

Pretty soon I saw that girl motioning to me
And brushing off some other guy who wasn't her cup of tea
A little later on, she said she would drive
Come on over to my place for talk and all that jive

Oh what a night
And I wake up
To the morning light

By this time early morning was coming round
We stumbled off to her room and brought the curtain down
Out late last night, Twenty Second Avenue
Drinking at the other end and listening to Baby Blue

Oh what a night
Oh what a night
And I wake up
To the morning light
