Limehouse Nights 1920 Gershwin

London Town is full of wonderful sights
charming days and dark mysterious nights
but in the London slums,
just as the twilight comes,
there is a captivating rendezvous.
It is known as Limehouse everywhere,
dreamers go to seek forgetfulness there,
its women quickly fade
its worthless men have made
Limehouse Nights,
wonderful the whole world through.

Limehouse Nights
where the hoppies glide to and fro,
Limehouse Nights
'neath the lantern lights softly glowing,
many people dwell within its mystic spell
from the world of care they're free,
the lure of Limehouse Nights
and its soothing sights
are calling me.

Limehouse Nights
where the hoppies glide to and fro,
Limehouse Nights
'neath the lantern lights softly glowing,
many people dwell within its mystic spell
from the world of care they're free,
the lure of Limehouse Nights
and its soothing sights
are calling me.
