Now a fish kind of likes the water And that's just where he wants to beAnd a monkey kind of digs bananas And so he lives in the top of a treeBut my eyes are made for darkness So the night comes right for meCause I'm a night owl, honey Sleep all day longMost folks like the daytime Cause they like to see the shining sunThey're up in the morning off and a-running But they're too tired for having funBut when the sun goes down and the bright lights shine My day comes just for goodCause I'm a night owl, honey Sleep all day longWon't you turn out the bright lights, baby? I said you're just about to drive me blindOh, won't you draw them curtains for me, papa? Watch and you'll see my love light shineNow there are two sides to this great big world And one of them is always nightIf you can take care of business in the sunshine, baby I guess you're gonna be alrightBut don't come looking for me to lend you a hand My eyes just can't stand the lightCause I'm a night owl, honey Sleep all day longSleep all day longNight owl, honey Night owl, honeyYeah, I'm a night owl, honey I'm a night owl, honeyYeah, I tell you I'm a night owl, honey I know that I'm a night owl, honeyNight owl, night owl Night owl, honeyNight owl, honey Night owl, honey
