(James Taylor) Now a fish kinda likes the water 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 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 night owl honey, sleep all day long Won't you turn out them bright lights baby I said 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 Yeah I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long Sleep all day long Night owl honey (repeat and ad lib to fade)
