[beebop and swing intro with female vocals scat] (verse 1) The night is calling your name Can you hear it? Whispered flame Candlelight and romance Hot music and dance Let’s take a chance (pre-chorus) Start the adventure now Don’t wait Don’t hesitate (chorus) Hear the night callin’ Singin’ like a mockingbird The sky is wearin’ velvet And is waiting to be heard The stars are diamond earrings Danglin’ from up high Reach right up and touch them You can do it if you try The night is callin’ And ready to play Let’s join the night And dance the blues away (verse 2) I can hear the night callin’ It keeps whisperin’ my name It’s ready for laughter and music It’s ready to play the game Of passion and romance Of intrigue and magic It’s casting its spell I can hear the night callin’ As clear as a bell (pre-chorus) My feet are twitchin’ Ready to dance Ready to step into romance (chorus) Hear the night callin’ Singin’ like a mockingbird The sky is wearin’ velvet And is waiting to be heard The stars are diamond earrings Danglin’ from up high Reach right up and touch them You can do it if you try The night is callin’ And ready to play Let’s join the night And dance the blues away [instrumental: big sound, jazzy dance with a funky backbeat] (bridge) I hear the night Singin’ its thrilling tune The night is calling Time to dance under the moon Time to sing with the mockingbird Time to hasten down the tune I hear the night calling Better answer soon! (verse 3) Take my hand If you’re afraid of the dark If you want to make fire I can be the spark Let’s walk together slow And see where this can go The night is callin’ And I’m answering the call Take my hand We’ll go for it all! (pre-chorus) We’re gonna sing We’re gonna bop Let’s answer the night call And make our dreams pop! (chorus) Hear the night callin’ Singin’ like a mockingbird The sky is wearin’ velvet And is waiting to be heard The stars are diamond earrings Danglin’ from up high Reach right up and touch them You can do it if you try The night is callin’ And ready to play Let’s join the night And dance the blues away The night is callin’ And we’re ready to play We’re joinin’ the night And dancing all our blues away! [instrumental and scat out]
