Night Owl James 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
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
