Better In The Dark Lyrics

Chorus: From Alaska down to Panama, Hawaii to New York Ten people out of nine agree it's better in the dark I Come people pay attention, listen to my song There's only ninety verses, I'll not detain you long How Uncle Sam he blew a fuse which caused the lights to fail And plunged the nation into gloom, come listen to my tale II John Citizen came home from work like any other night Found his house in semi-darkness, his wife all in a fright John, John, the power's gone, the TV's up the spout But John just pulled his trousers down and blew the candle out III When things go wrong, this proves to all the world - if proof were wanted Mankind reverts to type, carries on undaunted As they lay there struggling and breathless on the floor She murmured, John, how come we never thought of this before IV But nine long months have passed and gone and there's a bill to pay Doctor Kildare and all his men are working night and day Love, they say, is a costly game and must be properly planned But a packet of three is hard to see when darkness rules the land V John Citizen has changed his ways, he's joining in the fight For longer darker power cuts, he wants them every night He won't go off to war, he has a better plan instead For out of darkness comes the light, he'd rather go back to bed
