Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I've been waitin' and it's a Saturday night And I call up the boys, we'll be cruisin' tonight They got a party on and they say it's gonna be alright [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] (On the prowl) That's how we get our fun (On the prowl) Don't you tell my mum (On the prowl) Ah, the company I keep (On the prowl) You know it ain't so discreet Prowlin' with the boys on a Saturday night [Verse 3] Well, all was quiet till we turned off the lights (Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh) And I heard some shoutin', someone started a fight (Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh) And I struck a match, I nearly died of fright [Pre-Chorus] Know what I saw, good golly grief I was a-lookin' at the police chief [Chorus] (On the prowl) Now I've seen it all (On the prowl) The policeman's ball (On the prowl) Ah, they were everywhere (On the prowl) So I ran for the stairs Prowlin' with the boys on a Saturday night [Bridge] This song is a social documentary On the human habit of congregating in the safety of numbers [Pre-Chorus] The lights came on, but we were gone I made it to the door at half the speed of light Got to my car, I nearly died There was a policeman sittin' smilin' inside [Chorus] (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 Prowlin' with the boys 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 shoulda stayed at home Prowlin' with the boys on a Saturday night [Outro] Ah (On the prowl) Alright kid, now just show us your licence (On the prowl) I—well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I haven't got a licence (On the prowl) Ah, don't give me any of that bull No, I—I've left it at home (On the prowl) Show us your licence. I saw you in there kid, and you were with the rest of 'em Hahahahahaha, ha
