Like the beat, beat, beat of the Tum-tum
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wallLike the drip, drip, drop of the rain drops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You, you, youNight and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon, and under the sun
Whether near to me or far, its no matter darling, where you are
I think of you night and dayDay and night, why is it so?
That this longing for you follows wherever I go?
And the roaring traffics boom in the silence of my lonely room
I think of you night and dayDay and night, and under the hide of me
Theres an, oh, such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And its torment wont be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and dayNight and day, under the hide of me
Theres an, oh, such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And its torment wont be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you, day and nightNight and day
Night and day
