I was standing downtown when every light in the place went out
Not one could be found
It was a blackout
The streets were covered up from the bottom to the top with the people now
Someone made a sound
Through the dark it rang
They sang
Oo oo oo oo
It's a blackout
They sang
Oo oo oo oo
It's a blackout
So we all looked around but the source of the sound could not be found
Hidden in the dark
It was a blackout
People gathered up from the bottom to the top of the city somehow
Sat down on the ground
With one voice we sang
We sang
Oo oo oo oo
It's a blackout
We sang
Oo oo oo oo
It's a blackout
Uh-huh
Oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo
It's a blackout
Uh-huh
Oo oo oo oo
It's a blackout
Oo oo oo oo
It's a blackout
Oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo
It's a blackout
