[Verse 1]
Hey little kitty with your tail dragging on the floor
You could have a following in every town that you go

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But you remember what you said to me
That you are nothing without me

[Chorus]
'Cause I invented the night
Yeah I invented the night
In my laboratory using lust and lies

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But maybe once or twice I'll ruffle your feathers
'Cause you said we should always be together

[Chorus]
'Cause I invented the night
Yeah I invented the night
Mixing elements of the strangest kind
[Bridge]
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!

[Verse 3]
Hey little doggy, always looking for a bigger bone
Try to see how many times that you can run away from home

[Pre-Chorus 3]
But in the end you always come back to me
'Cause you are nothing without me

[Chorus]
'Cause I invented the night
Yeah I invented the night
Mixing elements of the strangest kind
