James Taylor — Night Owl

A catfish he tends to groove on the water It's just where he's bound to be And a monkey kind 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 daytime 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 lights shine My daytime has just begun Whoa, I'm a night owl, honey Whoa, 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 all right But don't come looking for string bean 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 Oh I'm a night owl, honey Said I'm a night owl, honey, yeah yeah Said I'm a night owl, honey It's jumpin' on the night train comin' on by oh I said yeah yeah yeah whoa yea Night owl, baby You gotta try just to taste it and wait and see It's gonna be fine with me Said I'm a night owl, baby Gotta get it that I'm night owl, honey yeah yeah Oh I'm a night owl, honey I'm a night owl hoo I'm a night owl, baby I said hoo yeah oh oh
