"I Must Have My Night" is a deleted song from the 1994 animated television series Magical Adventures of Mumfie. It would have featured the Secretary of the Night plotting to put an end to sunlight and shroud the world in eternal darkness.
Lyrics[]
When my rules and authorities opposed on fools
From tomorrow, you'll see such a change
Not for better, but for worse!
That's how I like it
Once begun, I'll astound you, I'll destroy the sun
Make the world around you rich and strange
It's a blessing, not a curse
Imagine a world where the day never broke
You would live by the light of the moon
Without any sun there'd be no need for clocks
With darkness at midnight and noon
No one would know when it's time to go beddy-bye
This sight I'll do out of spite
You know what they say
Each dog has his day
But I must have my night
When sunlight has been banished
Every color bright will have vanished
Leaving only shades and varieties of grey
My favorite color
Best to assume
An existence full of doom will loom
A resistance to be fades away
When I obliterate the day
Nice flying moths scare away all the butterflies
Spiders and toads multiply
Rude owls will screech
Day in and day out
And wide-awake bats fill the sky
Starved of the sun, every fruit, flower and vegetable
Suffers from mildew and blight
You know what they say
An apple a day
But I must have my night
When I make night last forever
I'll achieve my greatest goal
For the night will reflect like a mirror,
The darkness in my soul
No growing cockerels will wake the darn chorus
A forest of mushrooms will sprout
Glowworms will glow, fireflies will flame
Until the fools burn themselves out
Long legged beasties creep out of the shadows
One glimpse and your hair will turn white
You know what they say
Perish the day
No one dare stop me or stand in my way
For I must have my night
