Now a fish kind of likes the water And that's just where he wants to be
And a monkey kind of digs bananas And so he lives in the top of a tree
But my eyes are made for darkness So the night comes right for me
Cause I'm a night owl, honey Sleep all day long
Most folks like the daytime Cause they like to see the shining sun
They're up in the morning off and a-running But they're too tired for having fun
But when the sun goes down and the bright lights shine My day comes just for good
Cause I'm a night owl, honey Sleep all day long
Won't you turn out the bright lights, baby? I said you're just about to drive me blind
Oh, won't you draw them curtains for me, papa? Watch and you'll see my love light shine
Now there are two sides to this great big world And one of them is always night
If you can take care of business in the sunshine, baby I guess you're gonna be alright
But don't come looking for me to lend you a hand My eyes just can't stand the light
Cause I'm a night owl, honey Sleep all day long
Sleep all day long
Night owl, honey Night owl, honey
Yeah, I'm a night owl, honey I'm a night owl, honey
Yeah, I tell you I'm a night owl, honey I know that I'm a night owl, honey
Yeah, I'm a night owl, honey
