Starland Vocal Band Lyrics
Afternoon Delight

Gonna find my baby,
Gonna hold her tight.
Gonna grab some afternoon delight.
My motto's always been,
When it's right it's right.
Why wait until the middle,
Of a cold dark night?

When everything's a little clearer,
In the light of day,
And we know the night is always,
Gonna be here anyway.

Thinkin' of you's,
Workin' up an appetite.
Lookin' forward to a little
Afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together,
Make the sparks ignite.
And the thought of rubbin' you,
Is gettin' so excitin'
Skyrockets in flight.
Afternoon delight.

Afternoon delight.
Afternoon delight.

Started out this mornin',
Feelin' so polite.
I always thought a fish,
Could not be caught who didn't bite.
But you got some bait a-waitin'
And I think I might,
Like nibblin',
A little afternoon delight.
Skyrockets in flight.
Afternoon delight.

Afternoon delight.
Afternoon delight.

[Instrumental break.]

Be waitin' for me, baby,
When I come around.
We can make a lot of luvin',
'Fore the sun go down.

Thinkin' of you's,
Workin' up an appetite.
Lookin' forward to a little
Afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together,
Make the sparks ignite.
And the thought of rubbin' you,
Is gettin' so excitin'
Skyrockets in flight.
Afternoon delight.

Afternoon delight.
Afternoon delight.
Afternoon delight.
Afternoon delight.
