Penny Arcade Songtext

von Susan McCann

A light shown in the night, somewhere ahead,
Blue turned into green, then it was red
And dancing the night, love music played
The light I saw in the night, was a penny arcade

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 they played and they 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 they played and they 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 music played, at the penny arcade,
Yes they played and they played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last,
Roll up and spend your last,
Roll up and spend your last dime
