Karate in the Night Lyrics

The sun goes down over the city skyline

The darkness takes away the light

The shadows sneak up right behind me

I see them move out of the corner of my eye

I'm all alone

In this big house without you

And there's only one thing I can do

I do karate in the night

It's the only thing that make me feel alright

I karate chop the darkness

HIYA

I do karate in the night

I take the trash down to the basement

And the lightbulb's on the fritz again

What's that moving over in the corner?

Dear lord save me from this monster amen

Cause when the lightbulbs break

And the room's as black as coal

Every shape could be a goblin or a troll

I do karate in the night

I'm a black belt here inside my mind

You better believe that if you try to scare me

HIYA

I'll do karate in the night

I go into the bathroom every evening

(Going to the bathroom)

When it's time to brush my teeth

(You gotta brush your teeth)

But my eyes are drawn to the shower curtain

(Oh no)

Is there some monster murderer waiting for me

(Waiting in the shower)

But I don't run, and I don't flinch

No I don't scream and I don't hide

I just pull back the curtain, step back into a stance

It's karate o'clock tonight

I wake up at the break of dawn

Pour some coffee to start the day

And I take a look around

Looks like everything's okay

Ain't got no monsters in the kitchen

No oogie boogies under the bed

No specters lurking in the closets

No creepy crawlies overhead

Because they know

That this is my home

They know better than to mess with a pro

Cause I do karate in the night

My fists are ready for the fight

And when the sun goes down this evening

HIYA

I'll do karate in the night

Cause it's the only thing that make me feel alright

I karate chop the darkness

HIYA

I do karate in the night
