[Verse 1]
Well, thanks for the night
The swag and a lovely affray
Thanks for the night
You give and we take it away

It was a smash and grab conflab
An all-night show and we weren't nabbed
A thrill for one-and-all, a ball
Join us or be a fool
Thanks for the night

[Verse 2]
Well, I know a place
Where we can have fun tonight
Yeah, I know a place
Where we can be one tonight

Old Bill, and Ben and all his friends will be there
Standing in a row
The News at Ten and ITN will be there
Don't be slow

[Chorus]
The fires ignite
All down the road
The scene explodes and I say:
"It's been alright
Thanks for the night"
A fine affair
The narcs are there
And we don't care 'cause I say:
"It's been alright
Thanks for the night"

[Guitar solo, helicopter sound effects]

[Chorus]
The fires ignite
All down the road
The scene explodes and I say
"It's been alright
Thanks for the night"

A fine affair
The narcs are there
And we don't care 'cause I say:
"It's been alright
Thanks for the night"

[Chorus, spoken]
The fires ignite
All down the road
The scene explodes and I say:
"It's been alright
Thanks for the night"
[Outro, sung]
A fine affair
The narcs are there
And we don't care 'cause I say:
"It's been alright
Thanks for the night"

Thanks for the night
The night
The night
