Hey  little kitty with your tail  dragging on the floor.
You  could have a following in every  town that you  go,
But  you remember what you said to  me
That  you are nothing without me

 'Cause I invented  the night
 Yeah I invented  the night
 In my laboratory  using lust  and lies
 Hey little birdie fly until your wings desert you.
 And when you come down, come down on me 'cause you know I will never hurt you.
 But maybe once or twice I'll ruffle your feathers,
 'Cause you said we should always be together
 'Cause I invented the night
 Yeah I invented the night
 Mixing elements of the strangest kind

And  should your invention  be destroyed in a fire
John,  it's only Monday
 I gave you Tuesday  night, and Wednesday night,
 and Thursday  night and Friday night,
The  weekend is a sea of electric light,
Turn  it on
 Hey little doggy always looking for a bigger bone,
 Try to see how many times that you can run away from home.
 But in the end you always come back to me
 'Cause you are nothing without me
 'Cause I invented the night,
 Yeah I invented the night,
 Mixing elements of the strangest kind
 End on
 Enjoy!
