Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom tom

When the jungle shadows fall

Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock

as it stands against the wall.

Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops

when a jungle shower is through.

So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, 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 darling

where you are, I think of you.

Night and day.



Night and day

why is it so

that this hunger for you

follows wherever I go

In the roaring traffic's boom

In the silence of my lonely room

I think of you

Night and day



Night and day

under the hide of me

There's an oh, such a hungry

yearning burning inside of me

And it's torment won't ever be through

Till you let me spend my life

making love to you

Day and night

night and day
