Night Owl

A catfish, he tends to groove on the water

It's just where he's bound to be

And a monkey kind of flashes on fruits and bananas

So he lives in the top of a tree

But my eyes are made for darkness

And so the nighttime is right for me

Said, I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long

Now, most folks, they like the good day time, baby

They like to see the shining sun

They're up in the morning, off and running

'Till they're too tired for having fun

But when the sun goes down and them bright light shine

My daytime has just begun

I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long

Said, turn off that bright light, baby

Draw them curtains for me, mama

You watch and you'll see how my love light shines

Now, there's two sides to this great big world

And one of them is always night

Hey, if you can take care of business in the sunshine, baby

I guess you're gonna be alright

But don't come looking for string bean to lend you a hand

Because my eyes they can't stand the light

No, I'm a night owl honey, sleep all, sleep all day long

I said, sleep all day long, oh I'm a night owl, honey

Said, I'm a night owl honey, yeah, yeah,

Said, I'm a night owl honey

It's on board the night train, comin' on by

I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, night owl, baby

You gotta try just the taste, said wait and see, you're gonna be fine with me

Said, I'm a night owl baby, said, I'm a night owl honey, yeah, yeah

I'm a night howl honey, I'm a night owl, I'm a night owl baby, yeah, yeah

I said, yeah, I'm a night owl
