Along...thirty, and you feel real flirty And you wanna start running around Well, you put off your study, call your best school buddy Then proceed to paint up the town You're told to be back at nine, but you're havin' a time Then you come home as late as can be Still you don't go to bed, you stay up instead 'Cos you've gotta watch a little TV Night owl, night owl, what you gonna do When the teacher finally catches on to you? Night owl, night owl, better study hard There'll be no dating when your daddy gets your report card Well, you're up in a stew because your homework's due And you didn't get your book review You tell the teacher man that you didn't understand You'll get it in a day or two Night owl, night owl, you've done it again You didn't get to school until half past ten Night owl, if you have a big weekend You better tear up the note that your teacher sent You get a promise from your mama that the date'll have to wait Looks like you'll never ever win But you played her real cool, and you do better in school Then the night owl flies again The night owl flies again
