When people ask of me
"What would you like to be,
ow that you're not a kid anymore?"
I know just what to say
I answer right away,
There's just one thing I've been wishing for.

I wanna be a Night Owl,
I wanna be a Night Owl,
That's the most important thing to me;
And if I were a Night Owl,
If I were a Night Owl,
What a faithful, thankful guy I'd be.

Each night I sit at home,
Hoping they'd let me come,
But I know they want someone else,
Still in my heart I pray,
There soon will come the day,
When I will join the Night Owls Club
