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 they high spots feelin' 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 feelin' groovy
That's why I only operate at night time
Night time
(Repeat 5 more times and fade)
