Touring versions from Foggy G's We're Only In It For The Touring:

1968
This amusing little '50's piece- reminiscent of some of the greasier Ruben tunes- consists of your typical cheesy love music accompanied by a painfully high Roy Estrada falsetto. The music is simple, and the lyrics consist of two verses, the first of which contains the words "in the sky" sung over and over, and the second of which contains the words "all night long" sung over and over. The final line, a brilliant combination of the two verses, consists of the words "in the sky, all night long". Simple, to the point, and hilariously entertaining.

At one of the recordings, I forget which one, Frank calls it "'Ooh, in
the Sky', by Roy Estrada & the Penguins".
Before I heard that song, the words "nite owl" would always bring up the
image of an owl sitting in a tree (maybe going "hoo, hoo"). I guess I
could have reasoned my way to a "well, owls are active at night, so they
would be flying around", but I couldn't have felt it. The nite owl is IN
THE SKY. I love it. Those are damn good lyrics.

The lyrics:

OOH, IN THE SKY
OOH, IN THE SKY
OOH, IN THE SKY
OOH, IN THE SKY
OOH, IN THE SKY
OOH, IN THE SKY
IN THE SKY
IN THE SKY

OOH, IN THE SKY
OOH, IN THE SKY
OOH, OOH, AH-AAAH
OOH, IN THE SKY
OOH, IN THE SKY
OOH, IN THE SKY

OOH, NITE OWL
OOH, NITE OWL
OOH, NITE OWL
OOH, NITE OWL
OOH, NITE OWL
OOH, NITE OWL
IN THE SKY, YEAH

OOH
OOH, IN THE SKY
IN THE SKY
