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
