Lyrics

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
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
Yes
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
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
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
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
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!
