Hear the sounds driftin’ through the night,
See the crowd through the hazy light, wo oh,
It’s so dramatic.
People walkin’ in the city lights,
Takin’ in all the city sights, wo oh,
It’s so fantastic.

Lift me up! Lift me up!
Everything is gonna be OK.
Lift me up! Lift me up!
Let the music blow your blues away.

Hear the midnight trumpet play,
‘Cross the city down by the bay, wo oh,
Chase away the sorrow.
All the mood that the music has,
All the magic and all the jazz, wo oh,
Takes us to tomorrow.

Lift me up! Lift me up! … etc.

Out in the street hear the beat,
All the people are dancin’,
Comin’ alive with the jam and the jive in the air.

Saxophones in the still of night
Blowin’ dreams that’ll make it right, wo oh,
It’s so dramatic.
All the people who’ve lost their way
Come together down by the bay, wo oh,
It’s so fantastic.

Lift me up! Lift me up! … etc.

Out in the street hear the beat,
All the people are dancin’,
Comin’ alive with the jam and the jive in the air.

Lift me up! Lift me up! … etc.

Lift me up! Lift me up!
Everything is gonna be OK.
Lift me up! Lift me up!
Let the music blow your blues away today. Lift me up!
