Remember this young lady, so many years ago
She had a lousy day job as we know
But when the night had fallen, she sneaked out for the crack
Behind her old stepmother's back
Seize the night, girl, break away
There ain't no stars out in the dead of day
Then there was this fellow, the prince I presume
Spending night and day in his little room
His daddy would have given all the money in the world
If only he could find his son a girl
Seize the night, boy, break away
There ain't no stars out in the dead of day
So daddy threw a party, a lot of girls were there
But the lonely prince didn't seem to care
Daddy getting desperate, things were getting worse
But then walked in the girl from the first verse
Seize the night, girl, break away
There ain't no stars out in the dead of day
Seize the night, boy, break away
There ain't no stars out in the dead of day
A bolt of lightning struck him, got ready to attack
He got himself a drink and knocked it back
He went up to this lady, and asked her for a dance
She kicked off her shoes and took his hand
Seize the night, boy, break away
There ain't no stars out in the dead of day
The very next morning, no trace of that lass
Only two little slippers made of glass
She never got the pumps back because our little Prince
Got into drag and wore them ever since
Seize the night, wow, break away
There ain't no stars out in the dead of day
