Down on the Quay with my best friend next door
Nonnie May's sweet shop and chalk on the floor
The kids are all up late, the band's**** their stride
The streets are so crowded, it's easy to hide
Can't miss a moment, don't send me to bed
The music's just started, I can't hear what you said
So we run away laughing from our mothers and aunts
Till time is forgotten and we all go and dance
There's a lady with face paints who's chasing me down
I protest I'm too old for the face of a clown
There's a boy of fourteen who's making me blush
While I long to be grown up, they all say what's the rush?
Can't miss a moment....
Laughter is bubbling out from the bars
Lovers are leaning against the parked cars
Night is descending chased by the dawn
Sleep, stay at bay - kids are soldiering on
