Shadows in the dark city
  Linger through the night
  Danger lurks by your doorway
  Don't turn out the light
  Sleep easy, don't worry
  Calm your timid soul
  Footsteps under your window
  It's just the night patrol
  
  Someone is dying
  Yours mother's crying
  Don't go out alone
  Evil is prowling
  The wind is howling
  Through your happy home
  
  Sleep, sleep, pretty baby, sleep
  Dream your dream of angels
  Rock-a-bye, baby, goodnight
  
  Shadows in the bleak city
  Night patrol's alert
  Making sure that you're OK.
  That you don't get hurt
  Anxious to protect you
  Everything's alright
  Shadows in the sad city
  Bleed through the night
