Late at night, when the sun goes down You can see them everywhere They're out there stalking the streets Seekin' all the girls You can tell by the look in their eye The life they're livin' is pretty high It's the lifestyle Of the night owl
Every evening, it's partytime Nothing can hold them back They get supplies from a good-time doctor Someone's illegal quack A double play's all they need to make Soon they're waitin' for the dam to break It's the lifestyle Of the nightowl Hey, of the nightowl
There's a darkness, let me tell you Way out there And they wouldn't get rest to sell you All the way, woah
In the still of the midnight hour Hear the lonesome howl Cool double scotch on the rocks Tonight they're on the prowl Just before that old sun comes up He decides that he's had enough Of the lifestyle Of the night owl
