lyrics

You can’t fool me
I went to night school
I can read in the dark

They told us to watch out
For people like you
Life’s not a walk in the park

All night long, all night long - I went to night school
All night long, all night long - I went to night school

I live in the city now
But I’m not afraid
When I walk down your block

I thank my lucky stars
Y’know I wasn’t born on Mars
Or under a rock
All night long...

Hear me call your name
Watch me light the flame
You can bet it’s gonna get hot

Take me under your wing
Where you can hear me sing
Like it or not
All night long...

The things I saw
It was against the law
You probably wouldn’t believe

Those girls were so thin
Dancing on the head of a pin
Honey, I think it’s time to leave
All night long...

Getting on that train
Making my intentions plain
You see I’m not coming back

But keep it under your hat
I like it like that
Don’t wanna take no flak
All night long, all night long - I went to night school
All night long, all night long - I went to night school
Yeah I went to night school - You can't fool me
