When the day turns into nighttime

And the moonlight fills the sky

Every mother's baby's home in bed

Papa's working overtime

That's when I rise, soon after dark

It's time to get my licks

I work by night in a rock-n-roll band

That's how I get my kicks

I live by moonlight, yow, yow!

I live by moonlight, yow!

Yow, yow, yow, yow, yow!

I live my life in the rock-n-roll world

'Cause the music blows my mind

And I won't rock-n-roll till the sun goes down

Past midnight's perfect time

When the moonlight shines, stars fill the sky

And only crazies walk the street

I'll party all night till the sun goes down

And then I'll hit the sheets

I live by moonlight, yow, yow!

I live by moonlight, yow!

Yow, yow, yow, yow, yow!

I live by moonlight, yow, yow!

I live by moonlight, yow, yow!

I live by moonlight

I live by moonlight

Sleeping all day and I party all night

Won't go to sleep till I see daylight
