It's cool in the morning and it's ... playing blues It's two in the morning and it's ... playing blues Well three o'clock, you know I've got those night watchman blues I laid down last night, saw him in my sleep I laid down last night, and I saw him in my sleep Well I heard my door bell ring, and I tripped up on my feet Night watchman night watchman night watchman, It's time for you to make your rounds Night watchman night watchman, now it's time for you to make your rounds Because you never tell, who may be standing around Night watchman, night watchman, it's time for you to punch your clock "Punch your clock night watchman, you know you're late on your job" Night watchman, night watchman, It's time for you to punch your clock Who be hanging around, there's nobody else in sight
