queen of the night

Singer: judy collins

hey mister

can you lend me a dollar?

i'm not like the rest of these bums

i just need it to tide me over

till the mayor comes

he promised me that he'd give me my house back

we just got off

off the phone

don't walk away

i can tell your future

don't walk away

don't you know you're talking to

the queen

the queen of the night

i was the queen

the queen of the night

everybody knew my name

everybody knew my face

everybody treated me like i owned the place

i was the mistress of the moonlight

the queen of the night

when i was a girl

i met the prince of wales

on a yacht in new york harbor

he told me i was pretty and i danced with him

he was a gentleman

he kissed my hand and gave me a dollar

mister

can you make it two?

hey

don't walk away

i can tell your future

don't walk away

don't you know you're talking to

the queen

the queen of the night

i was the queen

the queen of the night

everybody knew my name

everybody knew my face

everybody treated me like i owned the place

i was the mistress of the moonlight

the queen of the night

i like your lavender limousine

i have a car just like that

my driver cracked it up last night

i think he drinks

you know

but i just can't let him go

he'd drive through a wall of fire for me

sometimes he treats me mean

he forgets that i'm the queen

i sure like that limousine

mister

don't walk away

i can tell your future

don't walk away

don't you know you're talking to

the queen

the queen of the night

i was the queen

the queen of the night

i can see your future

mister

i can see it in your face

i'll be riding in that limo

you'll be standing in my place

you know

it's different in the moonlight

i was the queen of the night

you know

it's different in the moonlight

i was the queen of the night

you know

it's different in the moonlight

i was the queen of the night

you know

it's different in the moonlight

i was the queen of the night

you know

it's different in the moonlight

i was the queen of the night
