[00:08.87]A light shone in the night somewhere ahead
[00:16.06]Blue turned into green, then it was red.
[00:24.03]And, stirring the night, loud music played
[00:31.73]The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade.
[00:39.43]"Step up and play," each machine seemed to say
[00:43.48]As I walked round and round the penny arcade.
[00:47.73]"Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
[00:51.59]And you'll make all the coloured lights cascade."
[00:55.48]And music played,
[00:59.63]in the penny arcade.
[01:03.63]Well, it played and it played, played all the time.
[01:08.38]"Roll up and spend your last dime!"
[01:12.29]At first I thought it a dream that I was in.
[01:20.60]Lost , lost in a sea of glass and tin.
[01:28.83]But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans,
[01:36.79]I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machines.
[01:44.66]"Step up and play," each machine seemed to say
[01:48.57]As I walked round and round the penny arcade.
[01:52.82]"Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
[01:56.78]And you'll make all the coloured lights cascade."
[02:00.78]And music played,
[02:04.83]in the penny arcade.
[02:09.13]Well, it played and it played, played all the time.
[02:13.65]"Roll up and spend your last dime!"
[02:17.85]"Step up and play," each machine seemed to say
[02:21.41]As I walked round and round the penny arcade.
[02:25.72]"Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
[02:29.83]And you'll make all the coloured lights cascade."
[02:33.73]And music played
[02:37.84]in the penny arcade.
[02:42.20]Well, it played and it played, played all the time.
[02:46.91]Roll up and spend your last,
[02:48.82]Roll up and spend your last,
[02:51.08]Roll up and spend your last dime!"
