A catfish he tends to groove on the water
It's just where he's bound to be
And a monkey kinds of flashes on fruits and bananas

So he lives in the top of a tree
But my eyes are made for darkness
And so the nighttime is right for me


Said I'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all day long


Now most folks they like the good day time
They like to see the shining sun

They're up in the morning
Off and running
'Till they're too tired for having fun

But when the sun goes down
And them bright light shine
My daytime has just begun


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



Said turn off that bright light, baby

You're just about to drive me blind
Draw them curtains for me, mama
You watch and you'll see

How my love light shines

Now, there's two sides to this

Great big world
And one of them is always night
Hey, if you can take care of

Business in the sunshine, baby
I guess you're gonna be alright
But don't come looking for string bean

To lend you a hand
Because my eyes they can't stand the light


No, I'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all, sleep all day long
I said sleep all day long

I'm a night owl, honey
