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
