I hate a moral coward, one who lacks a manly spark
I just detest a man afraid to go home in the dark
I always spend my evenings where there's women, wine, and song
But like a man, I always bring my little wife along
I'm a member of the midnight crew
I'm a night owl, and a wise bird, too
Home with the milk in the morning
Singing the same old song
Rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun
Early to bed and you'll miss all the fun
Bring your wife and trouble, it will never trouble you
Make her a member of the midnight crew
The fun it doesn't stop 'till twelve on happy old Broadway
So what's the use of going home until the break of day
Now someting confidential, whisper not above a breath
I once went home at two am and scared my wife to death
I'm a member of the midnight crew
I'm a night owl, and a wise bird, too
Home with the milk in the morning
Singing the same old song
Rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun
Early to bed and you'll miss all the fun
Bring your wife and trouble, it will never trouble you
Make her a member of the midnight crew
I never shall forget the night I made six robbers run
Although I didn't have a knife, a blackjack, or a gun
I proved myself a hero of a very high degree
I ran for home and six of them were running after me
I'm a member of the midnight crew
I'm a night owl, and a wise bird, too
Home with the milk in the morning
Singing the same old song
Rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun
Early to bed and you'll miss all the fun
Bring your wife and trouble it will never trouble you
Make her a member of the midnight crew
