lyrics

Caterwauls from rooftops

Foxes in the street

Rummage in the rubbish bins

For rotten things to eat

Let’s leave them in the suburbs

And travel into town

Where more exotic species

Have their hunting ground


Parrots preen their feathers

Pretty panthers prowl

Monkeys hang and chatter

Green-eyed leopards growl


The night life has teeth

The night life has claws

The night life is wild

And has its own laws

The night life is hard

The night life is cold

No place for the young

No room for the old


Herons hunched in smoky bars

Silent white-faced owls

Hear hyenas cackle

And howler monkeys howl

Wolves in search of lonely hearts

Crocodiles lie low

Until they spot a stray gazelle

And then it’s time to go


The night life is cruel

The night life don’t care

It says you were warned

It’s buyer beware

The night life desires

The night life has needs

It’s hungry for flesh

The night life must feed
