Well I've been waitin' and it's a Saturday night

And I call up the boys who will be cruisin' tonight

They got a party on and they say it's gonna be alright



Well we parked the Custer on somebody's front lawn

And the boys and I, we sneak in the back door

We mingle in like we've done it a million times before



On the prowl - that's how we get our fun

On the prowl - don't you tell my mum

On the prowl - ahh, the company I keep

On the prowl - you know it ain't so discreet

Prowlin' with the boys o-on a Saturday night



Well all was quiet till we turned off the lights

Ah-hah-hah, ah-hah-hah, ah-hah-hah

And I heard some shouting, someone started a fight

Ah-hah-hah, ah-hah-hah, ah-hah-hah

And I struck a match, I nearly died of fright



Know what I saw, good-golly greaf

I was a-lookin' at the police cheaf



On the prowl - now I've seen it all

On the prowl - the policeman's ball

On the prowl - ahh, they were everywhere

On the prowl - so I ran for the stairs

Prowlin' with the boys on a Saturday night



This song is a social documentary

On the human habits of congregating in the safety of numbers



The lights came on, but we were gone

I made it to the door in half the speed of light

Got to my car, I nearly died

There was a p'liceman sittin' silent inside



On the prowl - I didn't know what to say

On the prowl - you know crime does not pay

On the prowl - I knew I was done

On the prowl - 'cause he was wearin' a gun

Prowlin' with the boys o-on a Saturday night



On the prowl - all the boys had gone

On the prowl - left me all alone

On the prowl - towed away my car

On the prowl - I should have stayed at home-ac
