Now a fish kinda likes the water

And that's just where he wants to be

And a monkey kinda digs bananas

So he lives in the top of a tree

But my eyes are made for darkness

So the nightime is right for me

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

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



Most folks they like the daytime

'Cause they like to see the shining sun

They're up in the mornin'

Off and a runnin' till they're too tired for havin' fun

But when the sun goes down

And the bright lights shine

My daytime has just begun

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

I'm a nightowl honey, sleep all day long



Won't you turn out them bright lights baby

They're just about to drive me blind

Oh won't you draw then 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

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