Johnny got an angel dancing topless at night down in Toyland 
E                 B            A      B              E      B  A B 
Where the blondies and the supergirls offer a sad look and soft hands 
              E              B                    A   B 
And if you're looking for someone to steal your heart 
E        B                A     B 
Someone tough enough to take it 
E        B                   A     B 
Someone to keep it or to tear it apart 
A                            B 
Someone to love you, someone to fake it 
 
E       B              A     B 
Lonely night in the park 
E       B              A     B 
Oh, lonely night in the park 
E       B              A     B 
Oh lonely lonely lonely lonely night 
E       B              A     B                E       
Lonely lonely lonely lonely night in the park

Well there's some dudes at the door givin' talk 
E                 B            A      B              E      B  A B   
There's a lady at the bar, that's right 
              E              B                    A   B 
Slip off your stool and you step through the rubble 
E              B                    A   B 
This is your chance, you're going to take it 
E        B                   A     B 
If she can dance, you can make it 
 
E                 B            A      B              E      B  A B  
She takes off her shoes and runs down the beach 
E                 B            A      B              E      B  A B  
Oh, she's as soft as the night 
               E              B                    A   B 
You fall and she crawls within your reach 
E              B                    A   B 
Let her drag you down on the sand 
A                          B 
And try to make it all right, ohhh 
 
E       B              A     B

(Riff #3) 
And the boardwalk is so quiet at three in the morning 
(Riff #3) 
The lonely wind breath life into a Ferris wheel 
(Riff # 3) 
Somehow tonight this street seems so boring 
                 E                        B 
Raped and ravaged, with no secrets to reveal 
 
Ohhh, watch yourself now!

Ohhh, watch yourself now! 
 
Well, the bars close down and the lonesome armies they run for cover 
The lost boys and their pick ups, man they hate each other Ah and you're drinking beneath the pier with Kid Blue 
And Kid gets sick and throws up on your shoes 
And you're thinking of making it home 
Oh but your mom can't see you like this all alone 
Yeah you're walking down the street and no one knows your name 
Standing on the corner looking for the light to change 
Sitting on the picket, light by light, line by line 
They got nothing left but time 
 
E       B              A     B 
Lonely night in the park 
E       B              A     B 
Oh, lonely night in the park 
E       B              A     B 
Oh lonely lonely lonely lonely night 
E       B              A     B                E       
Lonely lonely lonely lonely night in the park
