Night Time

Lyrics

Wait until the light goes out

I don't want to be seen about

Maybe we could find a place to go

Find a crowded place where they don't care about your face

Or if your name is even Santa Claus or Joe

I'll be right at home if they leave me alone

That's why I only operate at night time

Wait until the clock strikes ten

It'll all start happening then

Baby, just you wait and see

We can have a little party, laugh and sing and everything

I know you'll like it, just you wait and see

Maybe first we'll dig a movie

Then we'll hit the high spots feeling groovy

That's why I only operate at night time

The right time is the night time

I wait 'til it's late and I can concentrate

Making love by the light of the moon

So when it's way past nine, get ready for a swinging time

'Cause I don't know where to draw the line

We can have a little party, laugh and sing and everything

I know you'll like it just you wait and see

Maybe first we'll dig a movie

Then we'll hit the high spots feeling groovy

That's why I only operate at night time

Night time

Night time

Night time

Night time

Night time

Night time

Night time
