(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 honeysleep all day long
I m a night owl honeysleep 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 honeysleep all day long
I m a nightowl honeysleep 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 honeysleep all day long
Cause I m a night owl honeysleep all day long
