When I woke up this morning
He was standing by my door
Said his name was Captain Howdy

And we met somewhere before

He came inside and he looked around

And he was feeling down
'Cause some uncertain laten rumors
Batting 'round this town


He looked at me and I looked at him
He started on in to grin

I got this funny feeling inside
I never should have let him in


So he played a hand of Old Maid
And we drank a case of beer
And he started grinning again

Said he really liked it here

Captain Howdy

Captain Howdy
You're my friend
You're running on the streets tonight

Scaring those girls again

Read about it in the paper

Heard about it on the radio

Captain Howdy

Captain Howdy
I think it's best if you go


Captain Howdy left this morning
For a cruise around the world
Said he had to make a lot of new friends

Of a lot of little boys and girls

So at night, if you sleeping kids

And a stranger comes in your room
Say "Hi there, Captain Howdy.
Man, didn't expect you so soon."


Captain Howdy is in all of us
No matter what people say

Likes the nightime
Most people like the day


Captain Howdy
Captain Howdy
You're? my friend

You're running on the streets tonight
Scaring those girls again


Read about it in the paper
Heard about it on the radio


Captain Howdy
Captain Howdy
I think you better go


Captain Howdy
Captain Howdy

Your one my good friend
You're running on the streets tonight
Scaring those girls again


Read about it in the paper
Heard about it on the radio


Captain Howdy
Captain Howdy

I think it's best you go
