Night birds love to stay at home a-huggin′ and a-kissin'
Night birds gotta roam ′cause there's something they might be missing
Whenl those funky neon signs light up the sky
I put on my very finest feathers and I fly
Some girls like to wake up early in the morning
Halfway through the afternoon I'm half asleep and yawnin′
But when those shadows call I kick off the sheets
'Cause when that sun goes down it′s time for me to hit the streets
You can lock the door but you know I just can't stay in
Oh, I gotta go if I know there′s music playing
You know I gotta boogie on down till my babe takes the check
I gotta shake my tail, shake it till I break my neck
Night bird, ooh night bird
Night bird, ooh night bird
Night bird, ooh night bird
Night bird, ooh night bird
Night bird, ooh night bird
Night bird, ooh night bird...
