Up all night
   Ooh za za
   Ooh staying up all night
  
   African jungle
   Big city street
   The only real difference is in
   The people you meet
  
   Up all night
   Ooh za za
   Ooh staying up all night
  
   It's an agreeable town
   It's neat and sedate
   Why even the muggers are off
   The streets by eight
  
   Up all night
   Ooh za za
   Ooh staying up all night
   Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so Joe
  
   Polite and well spoken
   Well heeded and well sane
   They know they're alive
   When they start to feel pain
  
   You're staying up all night
   Ooh za za
   Ooh staying up all night
   Up all night
   Ooh za za
   Ooh staying up all night
   Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so Joe
  
   Big city jungle
   African street
   The only real difference is in
   The people they meet
