When the lights went off in Hogtown   The strippers closed their eyes   The arcade quarters dropped    Like boiler room flies   The high beams and high rollers   Fishtail through the night   When the lights went off in Hogtown   The stars were shining bright      Oh, let the good times roll   From Honest Ed's   Down to Cherry Road      The alley cats in Cabbagetown   Are licking at their wounds   And knocking over garbage cans   With rodents and raccoons   Diplomatico's a stillframe   From some old black and white   When the lights went off in Hogtown   The stars were shining bright      Oh, let the good times roll   From the Record Man    Down to Cherry Road      Oh, let the good times roll   From Club Paradise   Down to Cherry Road      Now the old men have no shelf life   Down at the Polish Hall   They've fired up their flashlights   On a sleeping disco ball   Now the smart girls just got pretty   And they're not going home tonight   When the lights went off in Hogtown   The stars were shining bright   Yeah, the stars were shining bright   Oh, the stars were shining bright
