Penny Arcade Songtext
von Susan McCann

The light shone in the night somewhere ahead
Blue turned into green, then it was red
And, answering the light, love music played
The light I saw in the night, was the Penny Arcade

"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 the coloured lights cascade
And music played
On the Penny Arcade
Yes, they played and they 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


"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 the coloured lights cascade
And music played
On the Penny Arcade
Yes, they played and they played
Played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime

"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 the coloured lights cascade
And music played
On the Penny Arcade
Yes, they played and they played
Played all the time
Roll up and spend your last, roll up and spend your last
Roll up and spend your last dime
