| A catfish, he tends to groove on the water
|
| It’s just where he’s bound to be And a monkey kinds 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
|
| 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
|
| You’re just about to drive me blind
|
| 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
|
| I’m a night owl, honey |
