Up All Night Lyrics - Mondo Bongo - Boomtown Rats

Up all night 

Ooh za za 

Ooh staying up all night 

African jungle 

Big city street 

The only real difference is in 

The people you meet 

Up all night 

Ooh za za 

Ooh staying up all night 

It's an agreeable town 

It's neat and sedate 

Why even the muggers are off 

The streets by eight 

Up all night 

Ooh za za 

Ooh staying up all night 

Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so Joe 

Polite and well spoken 

Well heeded and well sane 

They know they're alive 

When they start to feel pain 

You're staying up all night 

Ooh za za 

Ooh staying up all night 

Up all night 

Ooh za za 

Ooh staying up all night 

Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so Joe 

Big city jungle 

African street 

The only real difference is in 

The people they meet
