On the Prowl - Ol'55
Well I've been waiting and it's a Saturday night
And I call up the boys who will be cruisin' tonight
They got a party on and they say it's gonna be alright
Well we parked the custer on somebody's front lawn
And the boys and I we sneak in the back door
We mingle in like we've done it a million times before
On the prowl that's how we get our fun
On the prowl don't you tell my mum
On the prowl ahh the company I keep
On the prowl you know it ain't so discreet
Prowling with the boys o-on a Saturday night
Well all was quiet till we turned off the lights
Ah-hah-hah ah-hah-hah ah-hah-hah
And I heard some shouting someone started a fight
Ah-hah-hah ah-hah-hah ah-hah-hah
And I struck a match I nearly died of fright
Know what I saw good-golly greaf
I was a-looking at the police cheaf
On the prowl now I've seen it all
On the prowl the policeman's ball
On the prowl ahh they were everywhere
On the prowl so I ran for the stairs
Prowling with the boys on a Saturday night
This song is a social documentary
On the human habits of congregating
In the safety of numbers
The lights came on but we were gone
I made it to the door in half the speed of light
Got to my car I nearly died
There was a p'liceman sittin' silent inside
On the prowl I didn't know what to say
On the prowl you know crime does not pay
On the prowl I knew I was done
On the prowl 'cause he was wearin' a gun
Prowling with the boys o-on a Saturday night
On the prowl all the boys had gone
On the prowl left me all alone
On the prowl towed away my car
On the prowl I should have stayed at home
Prowling with the boys o-on a Saturday night
On the prowl
On the prowl
On the prowl
On the prowl
