Lyrics

[Verse 1]
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout
We're gonna stimulate some action
We're gonna get some satisfaction
We're gonna find out what it is all about (What it is all about, what it is all about)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (After midnight, after midnight)
[Verse 2]
After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine (After midnight, after midnight)
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream (After midnight, after midnight)
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
We're gonna give an exhibition
We're gonna find out what it is all about (What it is all about, what it is all about)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (Gonna let it all hang down, gonna let it all hang down)
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (Gonna let it all hang down, gonna let it all hang down)
After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine (Wanna shake your tambourine, wanna shake your tambourine)
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream (Wanna shake your tambourine, wanna shake your tambourine)
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
We're gonna give an exhibition
We're gonna find out what it is all about (What it is all about, what it is all about)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (After midnight, after midnight)
[Chorus]
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (Gonna let it all hang down, gonna let it all hang down)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (Gonna let it all hang down, gonna let it all hang down)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (Gonna let it all hang down, gonna let it all hang down)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (Gonna let it all hang down, gonna let it all hang down)
