Ol' 55 - On The Prowl Lyrics
Well I've been waitin' and it's a Saturday nightAnd I call up the boys who will be cruisin' tonightThey got a party on and they say it's gonna be alrightWell we parked the Custer on somebody's front lawnAnd the boys and I, we sneak in the back doorWe mingle in like we've done it a million times beforeOn the prowl - that's how we get our funOn the prowl - don't you tell my mumOn the prowl - ahh, the company I keepOn the prowl - you know it ain't so discreetProwlin' with the boys o-on a Saturday nightWell all was quiet till we turned off the lightsAh-hah-hah, ah-hah-hah, ah-hah-hahAnd I heard some shouting, someone started a fightAh-hah-hah, ah-hah-hah, ah-hah-hahAnd I struck a match, I nearly died of frightKnow what I saw, good-golly greafI was a-lookin' at the police cheafOn the prowl - now I've seen it allOn the prowl - the policeman's ballOn the prowl - ahh, they were everywhereOn the prowl - so I ran for the stairsProwlin' with the boys on a Saturday nightThis song is a social documentaryOn the human habits of congregating in the safety of numbersThe lights came on, but we were goneI made it to the door in half the speed of lightGot to my car, I nearly diedThere was a p'liceman sittin' silent insideOn the prowl - I didn't know what to sayOn the prowl - you know crime does not payOn the prowl - I knew I was doneOn the prowl - 'cause he was wearin' a gunProwlin' with the boys o-on a Saturday nightOn the prowl - all the boys had goneOn the prowl - left me all aloneOn the prowl - towed away my carOn the prowl - I should have stayed at home-ac
