 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
