In the Dark of the Night (Avenue Q)

This song from Avenue Q (Toonwriter's fan fiction series) is performed by James Eagan Holmes relishing his newborn superpowers (given to him from a radioactive explosion after a meteor crash-landed into the city) as he became the Joker.

JOKER: In the dark of the night, I was tossing and turning And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be It scared me out of my wits A corpse falling to bits! Then I opened my eyes And the nightmare was... me!

JOKER: I was once the most pathetic man in America

DEVILS: Ooh, ahh, ooh

JOKER: When the people betrayed me, they made a mistake

DEVILS: Ooh, ahh, ooh

JOKER: My curse made each of them pay But some little kids got away Little children, beware The Joker's awake

DEVILS: In the dark of the night, evil will find them In the dark of the night just before dawn!

JOKER: Revenge will be sweet When the curse is complete ROGUES: In the dark of the night

JOKER: They'll be gone! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I can feel that my powers are slowly returning

DEVILS: Ooh, ahh, ooh

JOKER: Tie my sash and a dash of cologne for that smell

DEVILS: Ooh, ahh, ooh

JOKER: As the pieces fall into place I'll see them crawl into place Goodbye, kids from everyplace Farewell

DEVILS: In the dark of the night, terror will strike them!

JOKER: Terror's the least I can do!

DEVILS: In the dark of the night, evil will brew

JOKER: Soon, they will feel That their nightmares are real

DEVILS: In the dark of the night

JOKER: They'll be through!

DEVILS: In the dark of the night, evil will find them!

BILL: Find them!

DEVILS: Ooh! In the dark of the night, terror comes true!

BILL: Doom them!

JOKER: My dears, here's a sign

JOKER, BILL, ROCKO, CUDDLES, ROCKO, ABBY, MERCY AND DEVILS: It's the end of the line

ABBY, MERCY AND DEVILS: In the dark of the night

JOKER: (as the villains of Avenue Q reveal themselves while wearing cloaks) Come, my minions, Rise for your master Let your evil shine

BILL, ROCKO, CUDDLES, ROCKO, ABBY, MERCY AND DEVILS: In the dark of the night In the dark of the night

JOKER: Find them now Yes, fly ever faster
