Night Owl

Night Owl - James Taylor

Lyrics by：James Vernon Taylor

Composed by：James Vernon Taylor

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 baby

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

Ho 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 yeah

I said hoo yeah oh oh

I'm a night
