( W.Becker, D.Fagen ) After closing time At the country Fair I detect the El Supremo In the room at the top of the stairs Well I've been around the world And I've been in the Washington Zoo And in all my travels As the facts unravel I've found this to be true While the poor people sleepin' With the shade on the light While the poor people sleepin' All the stars come out at night While the poor people sleepin' With the shade on the light While the poor people sleepin' All the stars come out at night They got the house on the corner With the rug inside They got the booze they need All that money can buy They got the shapely bods They got the Steely Dan T-shirt And for the coup-de-gras They're outrageous So honey let me tell you how While the poor people sleepin' With the shade on the light While the poor people sleepin' All the stars come out at night While the poor people sleepin' With the shade on the light While the poor people sleepin' All the stars come out at night Show biz kids making movies of themselves They don't give a fuck about anybody else While the poor people sleepin' With the shade on the light While the poor people sleepin' All the stars come out at night While the poor people sleepin' With the shade on the light While the poor people sleepin' All the stars come out at night
