{Chorus}: I'm the nightwatchman I make the rounds I'm the nightwatchman I gotta keep my nose to the ground Honey this ain't no job For a man like me I got potential I could be just what you need You got to think About the pros and cons You could be right You could be wrong {Chorus}: I'm the nightwatchman I am security I'm the nightwatchman How safe do you wanna be I sit around at night And listen to the radio If I get real bored I might have a little smoke Yeah I got a permit To wear this .38 But listen, my life's worth more Than the minimum wage {Repeat choruses}
