Sittin' in The Dark.

Seq- Dr.J.Pitt-Payne. Kar- Bunty Pritchard Jones. July 2000.

Eight o'clock I call on you,
We sit and watch your family read the papers thro',

Gee! but it seems absurd,
We never say a word,

Ten o'clock they start to yawn,
Your little brother walks the dog around the lawn,

And when they've all retired,
That's when we get inspired:

Sittin' in the dark,
Just as lovers will,

Don't we get a thrill
Sittin' in the dark.

First we start a kiss,
Then we sit and sigh,

Feelin' very shy,
Sittin' in the dark.

When we've sent your Ma and Pa upstairs to bed,
We stop the clock,
unhook the 'phone.

Then when ev'rything is quiet overhead,
The lights go out,
and we're alone.

Sittin' in the dark
What d'ya think we do?

Just the same as you.
Sittin' in the dark.

Sittin' in the dark,
Just as lovers will,

Don't we get a thrill
Sittin' in the dark.

First we start a kiss,
Then we sit and sigh,

Feelin' very shy,
Sittin' in the dark.

When we've sent your Ma and Pa upstairs to bed,
We stop the clock,
unhook the 'phone.

Then when ev'rything is quiet overhead,
The lights go out,
and we're alone.

Sittin' in the dark
What d'ya think we do?

Just the same as you.
Sittin' in the dark.

Eight o'clock and all is well,
I get a funny feeling when I ring your bell,

You meet me at the door,
I couldn't ask for more,

Right away we steal a kiss,
It's just a little quick one that the family miss,

My heart begins to hum,
Knowing there's more to come:

Sittin' in the dark,
Just as lovers will,

Don't we get a thrill
Sittin' in the dark.

First we start a kiss,
Then we sit and sigh,

Feelin' very shy,
Sittin' in the dark.

When we've sent your Ma and Pa upstairs to bed,
We stop the clock,
unhook the 'phone.

Then when ev'rything is quiet overhead,
The lights go out,
and we're alone.

Sittin' in the dark
What d'ya think we do?

Just the same as you.
Sittin' in the dark.

Sittin' in the dark,
Just as lovers will,

Don't we get a thrill
Sittin' in the dark.

First we start a kiss,
Then we sit and sigh,

Feelin' very shy,
Sittin' in the dark.

When we've sent your Ma and Pa upstairs to bed,
We stop the clock,
unhook the 'phone.

Then when ev'rything is quiet overhead,
The lights go out,
and we're alone.

Sittin' in the dark
What d'ya think we do?

Just the same as you.
Sittin' in the dark.
