The stage lights hum a low electric blue Shadows stretching long across the floor A polished cane, a pair of silver shoes Waiting for the cue behind the door The woodwinds start to chatter The city street is painted on the screen A rhythmic pitter-patter The sharpest suit the world has ever seen Oh, let the rhapsody begin its technicolor roll A syncopated symphony is taking full control From the penthouse to the gutter, every alley’s in the groove Watch the skyline flutter, every time I start to move (yeah!) The velvet curtain whispers in the dark A spotlight finds a diamond in the gray One lonely violin provides the spark Before the brassy dawn begins the day Oh, let the rhapsody begin its technicolor roll A syncopated symphony is taking full control From the penthouse to the gutter, every alley’s in the groove Watch the skyline flutter every time I start to move (one more time!) Oh, let the rhapsody begin its technicolor roll A syncopated symphony is taking full control From the penthouse to the gutter, every alley’s in the groove Watch the skyline flutter every time I start to move
