It's night time in the Big City

outside the dogs are barking

a woman walks barefoot, her high heels in her handbag

The most beautiful things on earth

(rain)

It's night time in the Big City

the wind picks up from over the bay

a delivery boy makes a wrong turn

"Today we're gonna talk about the endless gray ribbons of asphalt that crisscross this country. So strap yourself in, put the peddle to the metal, and listen."

(coins)

It's night time in the Big City

a guilty man goes home to his wife

it's time to make the doughnuts

"Get rich quick themes, dreams, and schemes"

(fire)

It's night time in the Big City

an ambulance races though downtown

an off duty cops parks in front of his ex-wife's house

This is Theme Time Radio Hour, and there's Hell to pay

(sirens in city)

It's night time in the Big City

a trail of perfume follows a girl leaving a cheap hotel

a man wakes up in an alleyway

Welcome once again to Theme Time Radio Hour. This week the eyes/I's have it. Whether they're blue eyes, brown eyes, green eyes, ya got pink eye or red eye. If you're an eyesore, or if you're walleyed, we got the song for you.

(barking dogs)

It's night time in the Big City

newlyweds make love on the roof

a ringing phone goes unanswered

Get off the couch, get yourself a bowl of water, and heel.

It's night time in the Big City

a light drizzle starts to fall

an anxious lover waits by the phone

They say that good fences make good neighbors (Frost) and good friends make good music

It's night time in the Big City

a woman in a red gown throws out her cell phone

a man sleeps with a gun under his pillow

(Mr. announcer who are you?)

howdy everybody this is Bob Dylan

tell me the station I'm listening to

the xm network, satellite radio

how about telling a time to meet

it's time for theme time radio hour

and what's the weather gonna be?

it's cold and fatty and it's raining. It's going down to 30 degrees tonight.

I don't know what it's like where you are but that's what it's like here.

"What would the radio be without a disc jockey?"

It's night time in the Big City

a girl goes through the medicine cabinet of the man who brought her home

a ringing phone goes unanswered

For the next hour we're gonna be playin' music about Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, The Wisdom of Solomon, First Maccabees and Second Maccabees, First Samuel and Second Samuel, First Kings, Second Kings. We're gonna be playing stuff that comes out of the Psalms and the Proverbs. You know all of these. Jonah and Malachi - how come nobody's named Malachi any more? We're gonna be playing music that has something to do with Nehemia, Esther, Job, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. And of course, The Book of Revelations. So gather the family around the radio and hear the good news. Seek and you shall find.
