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 evening 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 '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'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 [bad word] 
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, [bad word] 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!
