Did you hear about the midnight rambler, Everybody to to go Did you hear about the midnight rambler The one that shut the kitchen door He don't give a hoot of warning Wrapped up in a black cat cloak He don't go in the light of morning He's split the time the cockrel crows
Talkin' the midnight gambler The one you've never seen before Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler Did you see him jump the garden wall Sighin' down the wind so sadly Listen and you'll hear him moan Talkin' 'bout the midnight rambler Everybody got to go
Did you hear about the midnight rambler Well, honey, it's no rock'n roll show Well, I'm takin' 'bout the midnight gambler Yeah, the one you never seen before
Don't you do that, don't you do that Don't do that, don't do that, oh don't do that (repeat) Well, you heard about the Boston It's not one of those Well, talkin' 'bout the midnight rambler The one who closed the bedroom door I'm called the hit-and-run, raape her in anger The knife-sharpened tippy-toe Or just the shoot-em-dead brainbell jangler You know the one you never seen before So if you ever meet the midnight rambler A-paddin' down your marble hall
Well, he's prancin' like a proud black panther, yeah You can say I told you so Well, won't you listen for the midnight gambler Yeah, play it easy as you go I'm gonna smash down all your plate glass windows Put a pierce through your steel plate door
Did you hear about the midnight rambler He'll leave his footpriunts up and down your hall Did you hear about the midnight gambler 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 Well, go easy with your cold fandango I'll stick my knife right down your throat baby, and it hurts
