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 theres women, wine, and song

and 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 miss all the fun

bring your wife and troubles it will never trouble you

make her a member of the midnight crew

The fun it doesn't stop 'til 12 on happy old Broadway

So what's the use of going home, until the break of day?

Now, something confidential, whisper not above a breath,

I once went home at 2 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 miss all the fun

bring your wife and troubles it will never trouble you

make her a member of the midnight crew

I never shall forget the night I made Six Rapper's 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 miss all the fun

bring your wife and troubles it will never trouble you

make her a member of the midnight crew
