[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
