Poso Music Co.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 of the phoneDon't walk away I can tell your future
Don't walk away, don't you know you're talking toThe 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 nightWhen 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 twoHey 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 nightI 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 misterDon't walk away I can tell your future
Don't walk away, don't you know your 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 placeYou 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
