Lanterns swinging where the day just diedSmoke and music and the whole street wideAuntie's cooking and the bass is lowEverybody's family when the lights are goldCome on down where the warm things growDown at the night marketWhere the strangers turn to people that you knowDown at the night marketLog drum on the corner and the whole street glowsA dollar gets a feast and a reason to stayA song gets the whole block swaying your wayNo one is a stranger past the second songThis is the kind of warm you been missing all alongDown at the night marketWhere the strangers turn to people that you knowDown at the night marketLog drum on the corner and the whole street glowsGrandma's got the corner and the kids got the laneEverybody trading little pieces of the sameThe steam off the noodles and the spark off the grillThe whole block humming and it never sits stillWho's hungry tonight? We areWho's dancing tonight? We areWho's family tonight? We areNight market, the whole street's rightDown at the night marketWhere the strangers turn to people that you knowDown at the night marketLog drum on the corner and the whole street glowsStay a while, eat a while, dance a while moreThe whole world's a neighbour at the night-market doorDown at the night market---
