Well I've been waitin' 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
Prowlin' 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-lookin' 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
Prowlin' 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
Prowlin' 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-ac
