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.
Babyjust you wait and see.
We can have a little partylaugh and sing and everything
I know you ll like itjust 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 nineget ready for a swinging time
`cause I don t know where to draw the line.
We can have a little partylaugh 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.
