Night Owl Tab

Night Owl - from No Secrets - 1972

        
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 they 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 nightowl honey, sleep all day long

 

                                      
Won't you turn out them bright lights baby
                                     
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
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
