Lyrics Roy Orbison

Roy Orbison

Penny Arcade

A light shone in the night some way ahead

Blue turned into green, then it was red

And stirring the night, love music played

The light I saw in the night was a Penny Arcade

"Hey, step up and play", each machine seemed to say

As I walked round and round the Penny Arcade

Just ring the bell on the big Bagatelle

And you'll make all those colored lights cascade

And music played at the Penny Arcade

Well, it played and it played, played all the time

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 machine

"Hey, step up and play", each machine seemed to say

As I walked round and round the Penny Arcade

Just ring the bell on the big Bagatelle

And you'll make all those colored lights cascade

And music played at the Penny Arcade

Well, it played and it played, played all the time

Roll up and spend your last dime

"Oh, step up and play", each machine seemed to say

As I walked round and round the Penny Arcade

Just ring the bell on the big Bagatelle

And you'll make all those colored lights cascade

And music played at the Penny Arcade

Well, it played and it played, played all the time

Roll up and spend your last, roll up and spend your last

Roll up and spend your last dime
