Lyrics

In the night, in the night
In the night, my my, in the night
In the wee wee hours ‘tween midnight and day
Nobody here don't have to get too frisky
This mornin' ain't buy no whiskey
In the night, no no, in the night
In the wee wee hours ‘tween midnight and day
I said nobody don't have to stand in line
Come on inside, have a good time
In the night, well, in the night
In the wee wee hours ‘tween midnight and day
All these girls got sex appeal
When they get to rockin', it's a real good deal
In the night, you know, in the night
In the wee wee hours ‘tween midnight and day
The jukebox plays as you gets near
Everybody will be high off of beer
In the night, you know, in the night
In the wee wee hours ‘tween midnight and day
All these chicks gets real real rough
Callin' for whiskey and a different stuff
In the night, well well, in the night
In the wee wee hours ‘tween midnight and day
Written by: Byrd
