Keys To The City

Open your curtain
I’m under your window
Don’t slam that shutter
I’ve something to tell you
I’ve the keys to the city
Oh, my love, please come with me tonight

Don’t turn away
I’ve some coins in my pocket
We’ll go where the champagne
Flows in crystal goblets
I’ve the keys to the city
Oh, my love, please come with me tonight

No time to waste
I am leaving at sunrise
I’m sailing for Holland
I am sailing for France
My heart’s running wild
Won’t you come help me celebrate
Why do you hesitate
This is your last chance

Come down your stairway
I’ll wait by your front door
I brought some flowers
I picked at your neighbors
I’ve the keys to the city
Oh, my love, please come with me tonight
