Sweet Smell of Success (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Welcome to the Night
The street is talkin', Sidney
Each night, I do my rounds
I listen to it talk
The bouncers, the whores
The doormen at their doors
The songbirds who scat
The chick who checks your hat
The whisperers are whisperin'
They hiss and they coo
The street is talkin', Sidney (Street is talkin', Sidney)
Tonight, it's talkin' to you (You, you)
Welcome to the night
You've been expected
And you're such a pretty sight
We heard a rumor
You were snipping at the bait
Flirting with your fate tonight
We're gonna getcha started
Welcome to the dark
To the advantages
Of swimmin' with a shark
You're looking eager
In that thirty dollar suit
Tossing off a cute remark
Tell me, Sidney, where ya been?
(Where ya been?)
You've been nowhere at all
(Nowhere at all)
Always outside, lookin' in
So come on inside
(Come on inside)
Across the divide
(Across the divide)
Come on inside (Come on in, come on in, come on inside)
Sidney's got a friend
What a friend I got!
Don't even wonder
What your friend here may attend
Why me?
Why not?
You're not an angel
And he's pickin' up the tab
Grab what you can grab tonight
Welcome to the night
Just like that!
I got a dollar
Says your future's lookin' bright
Right off the bat!
We get excited
When the cubroom has a cub
Welcome to the club!
Welcome to the night
(The street is talkin', Sidney)
Welcome to the night
(It's talkin' to you)
Sidney, welcome to the night!
Each night, I do my rounds
I listen to it talk
The bouncers, the whores
The doormen at their doors
The songbirds who scat
The chick who checks your hat
The whisperers are whisperin'
They hiss and they coo
The street is talkin', Sidney (Street is talkin', Sidney)
Tonight, it's talkin' to you (You, you)
Welcome to the night
You've been expected
And you're such a pretty sight
We heard a rumor
You were snipping at the bait
Flirting with your fate tonight
We're gonna getcha started
Welcome to the dark
To the advantages
Of swimmin' with a shark
You're looking eager
In that thirty dollar suit
Tossing off a cute remark
Tell me, Sidney, where ya been?
(Where ya been?)
You've been nowhere at all
(Nowhere at all)
Always outside, lookin' in
So come on inside
(Come on inside)
Across the divide
(Across the divide)
Come on inside (Come on in, come on in, come on inside)
Sidney's got a friend
What a friend I got!
Don't even wonder
What your friend here may attend
Why me?
Why not?
You're not an angel
And he's pickin' up the tab
Grab what you can grab tonight
Welcome to the night
Just like that!
I got a dollar
Says your future's lookin' bright
Right off the bat!
We get excited
When the cubroom has a cub
Welcome to the club!
Welcome to the night
(The street is talkin', Sidney)
Welcome to the night
(It's talkin' to you)
Sidney, welcome to the night!
