Here comes old Rosie, she's his lookin' mighty fine.

Here comes hot Nancy, all she's steppin' right on time.

Here go the street lights, and the bringing on the night.

Here come the men, tain, faces hidden from (Eb)the light.

(F)All it through gets the too shadows,

(Eb)aw, when they come and they go

(C)with only (G)one thing in common:

(F)they got the fire down (C)below.

Here comes the rich man in his big,

long limousine.

Here comes the poor man, all you got to have is green.

Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop.

(F)When it all gets the too heavy

(Eb)that's when they come and they go

(C)with only (G)one thing in common:

(C)Well, it (F)happens out in Vegas,

And it (F)went on yesterday, and it's (C)goin' on tonight.

(D)Somewhere, there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right.

And he's (C)lookin' out for Rosie,

He'll find her ev'ry time.

And when the street lights flicker,

bringing on the night, well, they'll be steppin' in the darkness,

slippin' out of (Eb)sight.

(F)All through the midnight

(Eb)watch 'em come and watch 'em (C)go,

oh, they go,

with only (G)one thing in common:

(F)they got the fire down (C)below.
