Night time inspires me, it is quiet, and a nice time to create. It is hard being a Night owl in a day bird culture. Oh well. I love it.

Prince Pauper is my friend Matt Knowles and DJ Sound Partner living in New Orleans who got me into Jamaican Music. We DJ it together as the Domino Sound System once in a while and it is Reggae bliss. The second verse of this song was inspired by a post card Prince Pauper sent me from Jamaica that spoke of the oldies music we love keeping him up all night.

Lyrics

Got up late this morning actually I think it was the afternoon
Rub my eyes kissed my girls and had my first cuppa coffee bout 2 o clock
Had to get outta the house today
To see the sun light before the day is done
By the time I finally got outta the house
I could see the moon and the stars shinin down on me now and I'm

Up all Night, Lord I don wanna be up all night
Up all Night
Up All Night, Yes I do Yes I do Yes I do Yes I do
Up all Night

I got a letter from Prince Pauper from the Isle in the West Indies
Responsible for makin’ them sound my ears my feet say really don’t stop please
Jamaica music, the one I love, really makes me feel like home
Pauper said he found a dance in the country playin Rock Steady inna de yard
Keeping him

Up all Night, Lord I don’t wanna be up all night
Up all Night
Up All Night, Yes I do Yes I do Yes I do Yes I do
Up all Night

Sometimes I think I should get up in the morning like them other folks do
But I aint like them I wake up whenever the hell body tells me to
Even my little daughter stays up late She’s just fine as cute as a button
so it really doesn’t matter cos I’m livin my life the way I want and you know that I'm doin it stayin’

Up all Night, Lord I wanna stay up all night
Up all Night
Up All Night, Yes I do Yes I do Yes I do Yes I do
Up all Night
