The sun contains a ray
They label Vitamin D
If you like Vitamin D
It's quite alright with me
But I am here to say
That I like vitamin love
But I can't get vitamin love
With that doggone sun above....

I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my lovin' in the evening time
When I'm with my baby

It's no fun with the sun around
But I get going when the sun goes down
And I meet my baby

That's when we kiss and kiss and kiss
And then we kiss some more
Don't ask how many times we kiss
At a time like this, who keeps score?

So I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my lovin' in the evening time
When I'm with my baby

(Instrumental Break)

That's when we kiss and kiss and kiss
And then we kiss some more
Don't ask how many times we kiss
At a time like this, who keeps score?

So I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my lovin' in the evening time
When I'm with my baby

Extra verses attributed to Marion Keisker:


Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my lovin' in the evening time
When I'm with my baby

Well, it ain't no fun with the sun around
I get going when the sun goes down
And I'm with my baby

Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss
And we're gonna kiss some more
Who cares how many times we kiss
'Cause at a time like this, who keeps score?

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I meet my baby

And it don't matter if it's sleet or snow
The drive-in's cozy when the lights are low
And I'm with my baby

Makes no difference if the rain comes down
I don't notice when she's around
Oh boy, what a baby

Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss
And we're gonna kiss some more
Well, one kiss from my baby doll
Makes me holler "More, more, more"

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I'm with my baby.

Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss
And we're gonna kiss some more
Well, one kiss from my baby doll
Makes me holler "More, more, more"

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I'm with my baby
