Mr. Night Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I read your letter
It said between the lines
You're visiting Mexico for an indefinite amount of time
Your love for burritos has now begun to cool
You need this driving fool

[Pre-Chorus]
To De Tomaso the night away
De Tomaso a ride away

[Chorus]
Roll, Mr. Night
You know what you gotta do
Anymore I ain't asking you
Go on out and do it tonight
Come on, Mr. Night
Now I'm in the driver's seat
Till we reach our destiny
Go on out and do it tonight

[Verse 2]
Your Mona Lisa
She took her smile of gold
Run under the border guard
And put it over on her Romeo
Your love for Señorita
I see is none too cool
Here comes this driving fool
[Pre-Chorus]
To De Tomaso the night away
De Tomaso a ride away

[Chorus]
Roll, Mr. Night
You know what you gotta do
Anymore I ain't asking you
Go on out and do it tonight
Come on, Mr. Night
Now I'm in the driver's seat
Till we reach our destiny
Go on out and do it tonight

[Bridge]
I see those ivory lies
In sweet Rosita's eyes
Gonna leave them both behind
When we 'tomaso all night

[Verse 3]
Your love and money this time are gone for good
Little Rosa took a boda bag
And hit the road like a Robin Hood
And I see by the headlines that I'll be driving south
And when I pull you out
[Pre-Chorus]
We'll De Tomaso the night away
De Tomaso a ride away
Lamborghini a getaway

[Chorus]
Roll, Mr. Night
You know what you gotta do
Anymore I ain't asking you
Go on out and do it tonight
Come on, Mr. Night
Now I'm in the driver's seat
Till we reach our destiny
Go on out and do it tonight
