A light shown in the night some way ahead

Blue turned into green then it was red

And stirring the night loud music played

The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade

Come on

Step up and play each machine seemed to say

As I walked 'round and 'round the penny arcade

Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle and

You'll make all the colored lights cascade

And music played at the penny arcade

Yes it played and played played all the time

Roll up and spend your last dime

At first I thought it a dream that I was in

Lost lost in a sea of glass and tin

But no so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans

I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machine

Step up and play each machine seemed to say

As I walked 'round and 'round the penny arcade

Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle and

You'll make all the colored lights cascade

And music played at the penny arcade

Yes it played and played played all the time

Roll up and spend your last dime

And the music played at the penny arcade

Yes it played and played played all the time

Roll up and spend your last dime

Step up and play each machine seemed to say

As I walked 'round and 'round the penny arcade

Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle and

You'll make all the colored lights cascade

And the music played at the penny arcade

Yes it played and it played played all the time

Roll up and spend your last dime

Step up and play each machine seemed to say

As I walked 'round and 'round the penny arcade

And just ring the bell on the big bagatelle and

You'll make all the colored lights cascade

And music played at the penny arcade

Yes it played and it played played all the time

Roll up and spend your last roll up and spend your last

Roll up and spend your last dime
