Midnight Rambler

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Did you hear about the midnight rambler?

Everybody got to go

Did you hear about the midnight rambler

The one that shut the kitchen door?

He don't give a hoot of a warning

Wrapped up in a black-cat cloak

He don't go in the light of the morning

He split the time the cock will crow

[Verse 2]

Talkin' about the midnight gambler

The one you never seen before

Yeah, talkin' about the midnight gambler

Did you see him jump the garden wall?

Sighin' down the wind so sadly

Listen, and you'll hear him moan

Yeah, well, I'm talkin' about the midnight gambler

Everybody got to go

[Bridge]

Yes

[Verse 3]

Did you hear about the midnight rambler?

Well, honey, it's no rock 'n' roll show

Well, I'm talkin' about the midnight gambler

Yeah, the one you never seen before, yeah ahh

[Bridge]

Don't do that, don't do that, don't do that

Don't do that, don't do that

Don't do that, don't do that

Don't do that, don't do that

Don't do that, don't do that

Don't do that, don't do that

Don't do that, don't you do that

Don't you, don't you do that

Don't do that

Don't do that

Don't you do that

Don't you do that

Don't you do that

Don't you do that

Don't you do that

Don't you do that

Don't you do that

Don't you do that

Don't you do that

Don't you do that

Don't you do that

Don't you, don't you do that

Don't you, don't you do that

Don't you, don't you do that

Don't you, don't you do that

Don't you, don't you do that

Don't you, don't you do that

Don't you, don't you do that

Oh, don’t do that

Oh, don’t do that

Oh, don’t do that

Oh, don’t do that

Oh, don’t do that

Oh, don’t do that

Oh, don’t do that

Oh, don’t do that

Oh, don’t do that

Oh, don’t do that

Hahahaha

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

Well, you heard about the Boston…

It’s not one of those…

Well, talkin' 'bout the midnight...sh...

The one that closed the bedroom door

I'm called the hit-and-run raper in anger

The knife-sharpened tippie-toe...

Or just the shoot-'em-dead, brain-bell jangler

You know, the one you never seen before

[Verse 5]

So, if you ever meet the midnight rambler

Coming down your marble hall

Well, he's pouncing like a proud black panther

Well, you can say I, I told you so

Well, don't you listen for the midnight rambler, yeah, yeah

Play it easy, as you go

I'm gonna smash down all your plate-glass windows

Put a fist, put a fist through your steel-plated door

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 6]

Did you hear about the midnight rambler?

He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall

And did you hear about the midnight gambler?

And did you see me make my midnight call?

And if you ever catch the midnight rambler

I'll steal your mistress from under your nose

I'll go easy with your cold-fanged anger

I'll stick my knife right down your throat, baby

And it hurts!
