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
