Intro: F# B F# B

B E
A light shone in the night somewhere ahead
C#7 F#
Blue turned into green, then it was red.
B E
And, stirring the night, loud music played
C#7 F# E F#
The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade.

Chorus:
B
"Step up and play", each maching seemed to say
F#
as I walked round and round the penny arcade.
F#7
"Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
B
and youʼll make all the coloured lights cascade".
E B
And music played in the penny arcade.
E F#
Yes, it played and it played, played all the time
B E B
"Roll up and spend your last dime!"

At first I thought it a dream that I was in.
Lost , lost in a sea of glass and tin.
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans,
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machines.

Chorus:
B E
Roll up and spend your last, x2
B E B
roll up and spend your last dime!"
