Lyrics
I once knew a girl whose name was Betty Jones
(Here comes tonight, yeah)
I used to take her down to a midnight movie show
(Here comes tonight, yeah)
And when she found out I couldn’t she left halfway through the night
(Here comes tonight, yeah)
And now she is going out with someone that I used to know
(Here comes tonight, yeah)
What is this new girl that I have found
What kind to fit in with the rest of the crowd
Here comes tonight
Here comes tonight
Here comes tonight
I once knew a girl whose name was Jenny Sims
(Here comes tonight, yeah)
I used to take her dancing on a Saturday night
(Here comes tonight, yeah)
And when I used to get there she would always say to me
(Here comes tonight, yeah)
Oh no, here comes tonight
(Here comes tonight, yeah)
What is this new girl that I have found
What kind to fit in with the rest of the crowd
Here comes tonight
Here comes tonight
Here comes tonight
I once knew a girl whose name was Betty Jones
(Here comes tonight, yeah)
I used to take her down to a midnight movie show
(Here comes tonight, yeah)
And when she found out I couldn’t she left halfway through the night
(Here comes tonight, yeah)
And now she is going out with someone that I used to know
(Here comes tonight, yeah)
What is this new girl that I have found
What kind to fit in with the rest of the crowd
Here comes tonight
Here comes tonight
Here comes tonight
Here comes tonight
(Here comes tonight)
Here comes tonight
(Here comes tonight)
Here comes tonight
(Here comes tonight)
Here comes tonight
(Here comes tonight)
Here comes tonight
(Here comes tonight)
Here comes tonight
Here comes tonight
Here comes tonight
Here comes tonight
