Queen Of The Night Lyrics

by Judy Collins

Hey mister, can you lend me a dollar?
I'm not like the rest of these bums
I just need it to tide me over
Till the mayor comes
He promised me that he'd give me my house back
We just got off, off the phone

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e51548-judy_collins~queen_of_the_night_lyrics.html ]
Don't walk away, I can tell your future
Don't walk away, don't you know you're talking to

The queen, the queen of the night
I was the queen, the queen of the night
Everybody knew my name, everybody knew my face
Everybody treated me like I owned the place
I was the mistress of the moonlight
The queen of the night

When I was a girl, I met the Prince of Wales
On a yacht in New York harbor
He told me I was pretty and I danced with him
He was a gentleman
He kissed my hand and gave me a dollar
Mister, can you make it two?

Hey, don't walk away, I can tell your future
Don't walk away, don't you know you're talking to

The queen, the queen of the night
I was the queen, the queen of the night
Everybody knew my name, everybody knew my face
Everybody treated me like I owned the place
I was the mistress of the moonlight
The queen of the night

I like your lavender limousine
I have a car just like that
My driver cracked it up last night
I think he drinks, you know
But I just can't let him go

He'd drive through a wall of fire for me
Sometimes he treats me mean
He forgets that I'm the queen
I sure like that Limousine, mister

Don't walk away, I can tell your future
Don't walk away, don't you know you're talking to

The queen, the queen of the night
I was the queen, the queen of the night
I can see your future, mister
I can see it in your face
I'll be riding in that limo
You'll be standing in my place

You know, it's different in the moonlight
I was the queen of the night
You know, it's different in the moonlight
I was the queen of the night
You know, it's different in the moonlight
I was the queen of the night

You know, it's different in the moonlight
I was the queen of the night
You know, it's different in the moonlight
I was the queen of the night
