[Like the beat, beat, beat of the] tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the eye of the clock
As it’s standing against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the rain drops
When the summer shower’s through
So a voice within me
Keeps revealing you

Night and day
You are the one
Only you beneath the moon
And under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It’s no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you
Night and day

Day and night
Why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic gloom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day

Night and day
Under the hide of me
Though such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
This torment won’t be through
’til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day

Night and day
Under the hide of me
Oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning, burning inside of me
This torment won’t be through
’til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day

Night and day
