Lyrics

Don't these city lights light these streets to life

The city lights illuminate and bring vitality to these streets.

All these crazy nights bring us together

The vibrant and intense nights in the city unite people.

Any rainy day, you can dance your blues away

Even on gloomy days, you can escape sadness by dancing.

Don't these city lights bring us together

The city lights contribute to our togetherness.

Charlie Chaplin's cane, well it flicked away the rain

Charlie Chaplin's iconic cane figuratively dispelled the rain, altering the atmosphere.

Things weren't quite the same, after he came here

Things changed notably after Chaplin's arrival.

But then when he left, upon our own request

After Chaplin departed by choice, things reverted but remained altered.

Things weren't quite the same, after he came here

There was a lasting impact after Chaplin's visit.

Don't these city lights bring the streets to life

The city lights enliven the streets.

All these crazy nights bring us together

The energetic nights in the city create a sense of unity.

Any rainy day you can dance your blues away

Dancing is a remedy for melancholy, even during rainy days.

Don't these city lights bring us together

The city lights foster a sense of togetherness.

We're supposed to be a land of liberty

There's an expectation of freedom and liberty in this nation.

And those city lights to blaze forever

The city lights are expected to shine eternally.

But that little tramp, ooh, on that street corner lamp

Chaplin, a symbol of humor, used to entertain on a street corner, but his departure left a void.

When he left us, it's humor left for ever

His departure resulted in the loss of humor that characterized the area.

We're supposed to be a land of liberty

There's an anticipated freedom in this nation.

And those city lights to blaze forever

Expectation for the perpetual brightness of city lights.

But that little tramp, leaning on that street corner lamp

Chaplin's absence resulted in a lasting lack of humor on that street corner.

When he left us, it's humor left for ever

His departure had a lasting impact on the humor of the area.

Don't these city lights bring the streets to life

The city lights bring vibrancy and vitality to the streets.

All these crazy nights bring us together

Nights filled with excitement and intensity unite people.

Any rainy day you can dance your blues away

Dancing is suggested as a remedy for sadness, even on gloomy days.

Don't these city lights bring us together

The city lights contribute to our sense of togetherness.
