James Taylor
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 stringbean
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
