The sun, the old vaudevillian, bows to the light applause
But before he's done, he does the one about vermilion and the curtain falls
A slight breeze whistles gently as it sweeps the day's stage clean
For soon it will be showtime at the Skyview Cabaret

The evening star is alone for now in the western sky
A beaming host who steps out to boast of the stellar show being planned tonight
One by one each player arrives and takes their place
And fills the night with the theme song of the Skyview Cabaret

Chorus:
So turn off your TVs, turn off your lights
Get out a blanket; turn on your lover tonight
Climb on a rooftop or drive out someplace
For the Skyview Cabaret

A bashful, yellow moon creeps on the stage
So shy and so timid that he'll only show us half his face
But sings a song so simple, so honest yet so true
Clouds too proud to admit it explain away their tears as dew

Oh the night birds and the crickets sing along
So reach for my hand and I'll teach you the song

The sun is back again with a new routine
Even though it's a brand new show you might swear it's one you've already seen
So if your days are reruns and you need a change of pace
Take my advice and make plans tonight for the Skyview Cabaret

Chorus:
Turn off your TVs, turn off your lights
Get out a blanket; turn on your lover tonight
Climb on a rooftop or drive out someplace
Where love can be seen clear from space
Forget all those dishes and the bills to be paid
Why sit and fret when there's love to be made?
Climb on a rooftop or drive out someplace
For the Skyview Cabaret
For the Skyview Cabaret
