Well it was one of those nights you aiways hear about yeah the moon was high and the stars were out where the shoreline down past the lighthouse point is filled with street cafes Oh there was laughin' and singin' an' dancin' abound an' there was parties an' drinkin' an' fallin' around where the colourful lanterns swung bright in the sound of the holiday street cafe An' we were out there singin' most every night just playin' them tunes that make a holiday right Everybody screamin' 'Gimme one more round. though we came to rock an' roll seems this whole damn town was singin' La la la la la la la la la la la Well now the tourists all laughed and they cried for more well rollin' and squimin' all over the floor when the proprietor said he'd seen this all before at the holiday street cafe Well now the local home-guard was there checkin' it out although they knew in advance what the fuss was about when all of sudden the lights burned out at the holiday street cafe And with it dark out front we thought our ship had sunk I said 'throw me a beer, I'm drowning' The night was still young an' though we'd only begun when this human monsoon threw us all outa tune we're singing' la la la la Oh the customers returned from off the walls and floor and with the lights in their eyes they ordered some more an' drinks were on the house and the guards were out the door oh at the holiday street cafe And the music never stopped to the owners relief who soon gained control to the chatter of his teeth and offerd regrets for inconvienience and grief at the holiday street cafe everybody singin' la la la la Holiday street cafe
